Our Organisation
AgResearch partners with the pastoral sector to identify and deliver the innovation that is needed to create value for New Zealand. We are a vibrant organisation with staff spread across four campuses and farms in the Waikato, Manawatu, Canterbury and Otago.
Agriculture is one of New Zealand’s largest export income earners, and AgResearch plays a key role in delivering new knowledge and technologies which underpin the pastoral, agri-food and agri-technology value chains. We do this by working closely with sector partners.
We are the lead CRI in the following areas:
- Pasture-based animal production systems
- New pasture plant varieties
- Agriculture-derived greenhouse gas mitigation and pastoral climate change adaption
- Agri-food and bio-based products and agri-technologies
- Integrated social and biophysical research to support pastoral, agri-food and agri-technology sector development.
We work with other research providers and end-users to contribute to the development of the following areas:
- Biosecurity, land, soil and freshwater management
- Climate change adaption and mitigation
- Food and beverage sector (including foods for human nutrition and health, food technologies and food safety).
