			<a href="methane.html" class="h5">Work Stream 1: Methane</a><br />
			Lead scientists Peter Janssen and Graeme Attwood are overseeing multiple cutting-edge research programmes at the NZAGRC that will mitigate emissions of enteric methane.

			<a href="nitrous-oxide.html" class="h5"><br />
			Work Stream 2: Nitrous Oxide</a><br />
			Nitrous oxide (N<sub>2</sub>O) is a potent GHG with a long-term global warming potential 310 times that of CO<sub>2</sub>. In New Zealand, approximately 20% of total GHGs are N<sub>2</sub>O. 
			</p>
			<p>
			<a href="soil-carbon.html" class="h5"><br />
			Work Stream 3: Soil Carbon</a><br />
			Soils sequester and store atmospheric carbon via the removal of carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) from the atmosphere during photosynthesis. 
			</p>
			<p>
			<a href="integrated-systems.html" class="h5"><br />
			Work Stream 4: Integrated Systems</a><br />
			The NZAGRC&#39;s integrated farm systems research programme is focused on developing the tools to design novel, practical, credible and cost-effective low GHG-emitting farm systems for New Zealand farms.
