The NZAGRC and PGgRc are  committed to working together to build on the past 10 years of investment and knowledge. 




Our joint goal is to deliver efficient, cost effective, highly productive, on-farm solutions to ensure New Zealand agriculture is economically and environmentally sustainable through the reduction of agricultural greenhouse gas emissions. 


Historical improvements in farm productivity and efficiency have resulted in an emissions reduction of about 1% per annum per unit of product. But, because overall production has grown at a greater rate, absolute emissions from agriculture have increased by more than 10% since 1990. 


This is why PGgRc and NZAGRC are collaborating to develop additional tools and management options to reduce emissions further, while also supporting on-going improvements in farm productivity. 


For more information on historical emissions reductions see our Factsheets.
