About Pastoral Genomics

Pastoral Genomics is a New Zealand research consortium for forage improvement through biotechnology.

Biotechnology will give the greatest stepwise and sustainable gains in forage productivity while maintaining and enhancing the sustainability and competitiveness of our country's meat and dairy industries.

Our strong science, industry-led strategy, and emphasis on application and development will ensure we breed the best new cultivars and place them in the hands of our farmers first.

Pastoral Genomics is funded by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment; DairyNZ; Beef + Lamb New Zealand; DEEResearch; Grasslands Innovation Ltd; Dairy Australia; NZ Agriseeds and AgResearch.
