AgResearch is a leading brand in New Zealand with over 650 staff located throughout the country. As an organization working on behalf of the New Zealand government, our overarching goals are to support the primary sector and the government's science and innovation priority areas. Our mission is to enhance the value, productivity, and profitability of New Zealand's pastoral, agri-food, and agri-technology sector through effective science.

At AgResearch, we conduct research that contributes to economic growth and promotes beneficial environmental and social outcomes for New Zealand. Our work focuses on three key areas: fostering and supporting prosperous land-based enterprises, protecting and enhancing natural resources sustainably, and contributing scientific understanding to meet evolving consumer demands for added-value foods and bio-based products. Our research and innovations are transforming farming practices and improving animal welfare and environmental stewardship.

With research centers and farms across New Zealand, including national and regional centers, we are dedicated to driving agri-science excellence, fostering partnerships, incorporating Mātauranga Māori (Māori knowledge), and making smart investments to meet the needs of New Zealand. Join us in shaping a sustainable and profitable future for the agricultural industry
