On 1 & 2 June 2021, the NZAGRC will lead a two-day conference on the latest research and policy developments and implementation actions being undertaken to reduce agricultural greenhouse gases in New Zealand.
The conference is aimed at government, science and primary sector leaders and practitioners interested in the agricultural greenhouse gas and climate change policy developments and latest research on reducing agricultural greenhouse gas emissions.
The conference is free to attend but registration is required.  Spaces are limited so register early. 
There will be a conference dinner, which will be paid by the delegate as part of registration, and will run as long as there are sufficient numbers.
Registration for the conference is now open.
