We have some of the world’s leading agricultural scientists on our team and we pride ourselves on being a source of trusted information on climate change and agriculture emissions for New Zealand. We also invest in and manage New Zealand aid and global partnerships projects through the Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases.
