Research Program 1
Low Emissions Plant Solutions
Purpose
Focusing on low-emissions broad-acre, horticultural and livestock systems, legumes and in-setting options–as well as reducing emissions in cattle and sheep via the delivery of new low emissions pastures and forage systems.
Research Outcomes
Low Emissions Plant Solutions targets the 77% of total agricultural emissions (methane) associated with livestock production, as well as the 23% of agricultural emissions (nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide) associated with fertiliser use and waste management.

Research programs
Program 2
Towards Methane-Free Cattle and Sheep
This program will provide the technology and quantification required to transition livestock production to a low-methane emission future.
Program 3
Whole Farm and Mixed Enterprise Systems Analysis
This program will integrate all the science emerging from the CRC to provide farmers with the guidelines, resources, metrics, and benchmarking tools required for a profitable transition to net-zero emissions.
Program 4
Delivering Value from Net Zero
This program will develop renewable energy and circular economy solutions that create profitable opportunities for agribusinesses and rural communities. The program will improve supply chain management and enhance access to key export markets.
