We’re so pleased to be working with Synlait as one of our founding shareholders, alongside ANZCO, Ministry for Primary Industries Rabobank New Zealand @RavensdownNZ Silver Fern Farms & Fonterra. Together, we are driven by an ambition to accelerate the reduction of agricultural emissions by 30% by 2030.

The govt is a majority shareholder in our unique JV partnership via Ministry for Primary Industries & they're matching every dollar our agribusiness shareholders invest. This will see us invest at least $165M over the next 4 years to accelerate development of tools & tech to reduce emissions on-farm.


Since agriculture is the backbone of our economy, the importance of reducing emissions cannot be understated. With support from our shareholders like Rabobank New Zealand we’re accelerating the creation of tools & tech to reduce emissions on NZ farms agrizero.nz
