AgResearch - Crown Research Institute

General Info

https://www.agresearch.co.nz/A Crown-Research Institute. Leading agri-based science innovation. Our purpose is to use science to enhance the value, productivity and profitability of New Zealand’s pastoral, agri-food and agri-technology sector value chains to contribute to economic growth and beneficial environmental and social outcomes for New Zealand. Our capabilities are vast, from seeds to pest control, high value foods and farming systems. Facilitating the smallest rural project to the largest overseas research project. We produce science and technology projects for the benefit of the agricultural sector and New Zealand.Agriculture is one of New Zealand’s largest export income earners, and AgResearch plays a key role in delivering new knowledge and technologies to support the sector. Our two focus areas of research are in creating smart, sustainable farming systems, and the most sought-after food and bio-products. These are intrinsically linked – without the right systems we cannot help create quality agri-based products, and we know that the consumer also wants to be sure that their choice of product comes without an environmental cost.
