<p>
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. 
</p>
<p>
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. 
</p>
<p>
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.
