The industry is buzzing today with the Commonwealth's announcement to contribute $87 million in government funding to the CRC for Zero Net Emissions from Agriculture (ZNE -Ag CRC).
Alongside other industry leaders, partners, and key stakeholders, DLF Seeds is excited to be a key industry partner working to help fund this initiative and help lead the Research and Development of creating forage for grazing animals with low GHG emissions.
Jason Agars, DLF Seeds General Manager, says, "The global demand for food is rapidly increasing, as is the requirement to produce this food more sustainably, specifically in relation to GHG emissions. The ZNE-Ag CRC is a significant and exciting opportunity for Australian Agriculture to accelerate progress in productivity and sustainability of our high quality food production systems."
Ultimately, the Commonwealth's investment in the ZNE-Ag CRC will allow more rapid development of low GHG forage systems for Australian farmers, which will yield significant productivity and profitability benefits to farmers while helping to achieve net zero emissions". Concludes Jason
