<p class="h3">The NZAGRC is a core component of the New Zealand Government's approach to reducing greenhouse gases in agriculture.</p>
<p>The New Zealand Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Research Centre (NZAGRC) was opened by Prime Minister, The Right Hon. John Key on 3 March 2010. The NZAGRC is a partnership between the leading New Zealand research providers working in the agricultural greenhouse gas area and the Pastoral Greenhouse Gas Research Consortium (PGgRc).&nbsp; The NZAGRC is a "virtual" Centre and the research that it funds is carried out by researchers working in their own organisations. The NZAGRC is physically located on the AgResearch Grasslands Campus in Palmerston North.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The NZAGRC was created to build on existing research, working with existing organisations to create an effective, trusted partnership to bring cost-effective, simple solutions to New Zealand farms, and contribute world&nbsp;leading results to&nbsp;the international science&nbsp;community.</p>
<p>This diagram summaries the NZAGRC: a multi-faceted, international team working looking for ways that New Zealand can continue to meet its international GHG emissions reduction&nbsp;obligations without reducing agricultural output. &nbsp;</p>
