As scrutiny increases on the environmental impact of food production, AgResearch is providing vital support for our dairy and meat industries.
Over the last decade, the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) team at AgResearch has consistently delivered impactful research on the environmental sustainability of our pastoral farming systems. This includes examinations of our agricultural products to determine their footprint for carbon, water and fossil resource use, as well as the impact of nutrients on plant/algal growth in waterways. Results enable our pastoral industry to prove environmental efficiency, especially compared to other countries and are also invaluable for media use and public communications.
