AgResearch (Invermay)

AgResearch (Invermay) is an establishment and point of interest located at 176 Puddle Alley, Mosgiel, New Zealand. Our institution's purpose is to enhance the value, productivity, and profitability of New Zealand's pastoral, agri-food, and agri-technology sectors. We are dedicated to contributing to the economic growth of the country while also achieving positive environmental and social outcomes.

At AgResearch, we harness our diverse science capability to achieve our goals. Our expertise ranges from farm systems and climate change mitigation and adaptation to pest control and high-value foods. We focus on the science behind added value foods, ingredients, and bio-alternatives that maximize the use and profitability of agriculture.

Our research also supports the development of fit-for-purpose plants and animals, ensuring profitability, sustainability, and overall wellbeing. We strive to increase the resilience of food producing systems under a changing climate and improve the performance of agricultural systems in response to evolving environmental, cultural, societal, and economic demands.

We believe in the integration of Mātauranga Māori and science to promote the thriving of te taiao (the environment) and Māori communities. Additionally, our science is dedicated to helping the world transition to new, more efficient, productive, and safer agri-food systems.

AgResearch is at the forefront of understanding the complexities of the digestive tract of ruminants, providing valuable insights for the agricultural industry. Through our New Zealand Bioeconomy in a Digital Age (NZBIDA) program, which is funded by the SSIF, we are researching the future of dairy farming.

Our scientists have also been involved in an NZ MFAT funded project to assist the Solomon Islanders in finding a solution to an invasive beetle, showcasing our commitment to global agricultural challenges.

Furthermore, we evaluate the science evidence behind "grass-fed" livestock production and provide valuable resources such as handbooks for farmers and individuals interested in growing and learning about tagasaste.
