Second Ireland-NZ agriculture research call opens

There is commitment by both countries "to accelerate the pace of development of innovative solutions to reduce greenhouse gases".

Minister of State at the Department of Agriculture Martin Heydon said that the call widens the offering to researchers with the two new research topics on the development of digital tools and data, and land management on agricultural organic soils.

A second Ireland - New Zealand joint research call on agriculture and climate change opens this week. 

The Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and the New Zealand Ministry for Primary Industries launched the first joint call in 2022, following the signing of a memorandum of arrangement between both organisations in May 2022.
