Innovation Investment Round now open

9 December 2025

We’re teaming up with the Ag Emissions Centre to offer up to NZ $2 million to accelerate research, tools, and technologies that can reduce agricultural greenhouse gas emissions in New Zealand’s pasture-based farming systems. 

We’re looking for innovative, scientifically robust concepts that can bring practical mitigation solutions closer to on-farm use. 

This round is focused on nitrous oxide emissions and projects must address at least one of these research challenges:

  1. Automatic identification of urine patches 

  2. Novel low-emissions nitrogen fertilisers 

  3. Better prediction of in-vivo outcomes from in-vitro methodology 

  4. Pasture-focused dietary manipulation strategies 

  5. A new/improved approach to reducing nitrous oxide from urine or methane from enteric fermentation at scale 

The round is open to applicants worldwide, and expressions of interest close 24 February 2026.
