<p><span class="h2">The NZAGRC&nbsp;and PGgRc&nbsp;are&nbsp;focused on development of efficient, cost effective farm solutions through the reduction of agricultural greenhouse gas emissions.</span></p>
<p>New Zealand's research into reducing livestock greenhouse gas emissions concentrates on six possible solutions:&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<ol>
<li>Low methane animals</li>
<li>Low methane feeds</li>
<li>Methane vaccine</li>
<li>Methane inhibitors</li>
<li>Reduce nitrous oxide and nitrate leaching</li>
<li>Increasing soil carbon</li>
</ol>
<p>An <strong>integrated systems research programme</strong> runs alongside the detailed research work to quantify the contribution that farmers already make through their increased efficiencies.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The NZAGRC also runs a <strong>research stream dedicated to assist the Maori pastoral sector</strong> to improve its collective capacity to increase resource<br /> efficiency and farm productivity while lowering greenhouse gas emissions.</p>
