We’re investing to accelerate the commercialisation of tools that reduce biogenic methane and nitrous oxide emissions from ruminant animals that graze on pasture.
Our investment portfolio includes a range of mitigation tools to give us the best chance of providing farmers with a selection of affordable, effective options to choose from.
We’re open to supporting different pathways to achieve our ambition. Whether you’re a startup developing innovative tools or tech, or you’ve got an existing research programme that requires a boost to deliver a solution to market, we want to hear from you.
We invest at an early stage (pre-seed to Series B) and also consider other investment opportunities which will accelerate research, tool development, commercialisation and on-farm uptake. We’re open to leading, co-leading, co-investing or partnering.
We welcome solid proposals grounded in science that demonstrate potential for:
Significant reductions in biogenic methane or nitrous oxide emissions from livestock.
Productivity advantages that will be helpful for farmer adoption.
Cost-effective technology scaling.
Suitability for New Zealand farming systems.
