New Zealand Funds Livestock Emissions Research at International Livestock Research…
What happened
The Government of New Zealand provided funding for Round 7 of the CLIFF-GRADS program at the International Livestock Research Institute in Kenya. This program supports early-career researchers from low-and middle-income countries who are working on climate challenges. Researchers are focused on reducing livestock emissions while supporting food security.

Why it matters
The funding supports research into low-emission livestock solutions. For instance, one researcher is investigating whether local legumes can help sheep produce less methane. Another researcher is developing a digital system to improve how emissions reductions from livestock waste are measured.
