What's Next from AgResearch
We’re in a time of change – our environment, markets, regulations, and public expectations are all changing and keeping pace with it can feel like a lot. As a Crown Research Institute, AgResearch is tasked with helping our pastoral agriculture sector face these challenges head-on. 'What’s Next? from AgResearch’ is a limited series podcast exploring these challenges. Our host, Eryn Breading talks to our experts about actions that can be taken now and what’s in the pipeline for the future, covering greenhouse gas mitigation and water quality, land use change and its impacts, biosecurity and the opportunities that new technologies offer for food and fibre producers, all working towards growing our economy and becoming more sustainable.
