Agricultural scientists say a genetically engineered clover could reduce methane emissions from livestock by 10 per cent.

A 100gm serving of NZ lamb consumed in Britain carries a carbon "cost" equivalent to nearly 2kg of carbon dioxide, new research shows.

NZ researchers appear to be gearing up for a new bid to win over consumers before the first applications for release of GE pasture species.

NZ researchers may have discovered a breathrough for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

AgResearch says it has several international companies interested in commercially producing its stab and flame-resistant wool fabric.

The science going on at AgResearch's new farm at Tokanui may help New Zealand's dairy farms run in a more sustainable fashion.

AgResearch plans to grow genetically modified grass created to cut the greenhouse gases produced by cows.
