Innovation Fund Open Now (Новая Зеландия - Тендер #55351647)

The ambition of the New Zealand Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Research Centre (NZAGRC) is for New Zealand farmers and growers to have a suite of fit for purpose tools and technologies to deliver cost-effective world leading low emissions products. Established in 2020, the Innovation Fund allows NZAGRC to distribute financing for researchers working towards agricultural GHG emissions-reduction solutions.

The competitive Innovation Fund has been awarded to multiple successful researchers throughout funding rounds held in 2020 and 2021. The 2024 round is open Monday 17th June - Monday 15th July 9am, with $2m in funding available for projects that have a focus on reduction of methane and/or nitrous oxide emissions from agricultural activities in New Zealand.

Successful applications must develop novel approaches, and/or significantly strengthen current approaches that show major promise for bringing practical, farm-level solutions closer to on-farm implementation.
Past Rounds
