Dr Andrew West, AgResearch Chief Executive, said the MoU would have tangible flow on benefits for the wider industry.
“AgResearch is the Crown's largest and most significant repository of pastoral farming knowledge and expertise. This agreement will allow us to work closely with Landcorp to significantly increase the scope of our on-farm research for the benefit of pastoral farmers the length and breadth of the country.”
Landcorp and AgResearch are currently involved in projects such as the development of new breeding techniques and grazing management systems.
“A key feature of our relationship with Landcorp is that we can jointly explore new agricultural technologies from an early stage, right through to implementation on-farm. With co-funding from the Foundation for Research Science and Technology, Landcorp will be investing into research carried out by AgResearch,” said Dr West.
