The PGgRc and SLMACC already invest close to $9 million annually in enteric methane mitigation research and the PGgRc has a well-developed strategy and commercialisation plan for enteric mehtane mitigation. 
</p>
<p>
The NZAGRC&#39;s research programme is designed specifically to build on this existing well-targeted research to advance the discovery of cost effective solutions. Since 97% of all agricultural methane emissions arise from enteric fermentation, the research concentrates almost exclusively on this sector.<a name="goals" title="goals"></a>
