How will this impact on New Zealands environmental and agricultural reputation internationally?
New Zealand is respected internationally as a very efficient producer of quality dairy products produced from healthy, grass-fed animals grown in a sustainable, free-range environment. This work will not change that situation. The New Zealand agriculture industry is also seen as innovative and research-driven. Our developments in forage plants, disease and pest control, and stock quality have long led the world. Other countries that our dairy exports compete with internationally are expanding their science to produce human health and nutrition ingredients from transgenic livestock. AgResearchs work in this area will enhance our reputation for research-driven innovation in pastoral industries.
