NZAGRC-Teagasc Joint Webinar: Breeding for Low Methane Emitting Animals

In this webinar, scientists from Ireland and New Zealand presented on the potential for breeding low methane-emitting animals as a strategy to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. This webinar highlighted cutting-edge research from New Zealand and Ireland, showcasing collaborative efforts between NZAGRC and Teagasc under the NZ-Ireland joint research call on agriculture and climate change.

The webinar featured speakers from New Zealand; Suzanne Rowe and Pete Amer, and from Ireland; Donagh Berry. Researchers, farmers, rural professionals, policy advisors, and anyone interested in reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the sector are encouraged to watch.

The New Zealand-Ireland Joint Research Call on Agriculture and Climate Change is a government initiative aimed at driving down agricultural emissions, enhancing the value of primary products, and addressing common challenges in the agri-food sectors of both countries. This event is part of the 2024 NZAGRC State of the Science webinar series and contributes to the ongoing collaboration between Teagasc and the NZAGRC.
