Alternative Energies on Farm
Event Information
About this event
It is well reported that nearly half of New Zealand’s greenhouse gas emissions come from agriculture. Methane from livestock digestive systems is the main source of agriculture emissions, making up almost three quarters of our overall agriculture emissions. Nitrous oxide from nitrogen added to soils is the next largest source, followed by manure management.
Saving energy on farm does not only relate to specific energy production units, but also in the efficiency of farming practices. Can a circular economy concept be implemented to the agriculture industry for more than just a value-add? Can it provide opportunities for us to develop technologies required to also save the environment? Can a circular economy open up opportunities for farmers to diversify on farm?
We will hear from experts in the field on their perspectives on the theory behind circular economies, new technologies available and how it can affect an end-user and their day-to-day business activities.
Join us to be part of the conversation and uncover tools that are available now and what could be possible as we look ahead to land-use change.

Organiser of Alternative Energies on Farm
At B.linc, we are passionate about innovation, and collaboration within New Zealand Aotearoa’s food and fibre sector.
Our role is to be a neutral connector, helping facilitate and grow an exponential innovation ecosystem in agriculture, food and technology. By connecting across industry, science, and agriculture we develop innovation for the future. We work with leading organisations, start-ups, researchers, growers and universities, to address the topical challenges facing the food and fibre sector.
We believe that collaborating is the start of creating and doing great things. We encourage you to get involved, to join forces to deliver collective impact.
Through our three pillars; creating events, offering a co-working space and facilitating projects we provide the platform to be share innovative insights, network, and to accelerate sustainable solutions for our future.
