Unlocking Our Low Emissions Advantage
Global food markets are evolving. Low-emissions production is emerging not just as a sustainability requirement, but as a defining marker of quality, resilience, and long-term value.
The 2026 Agriculture and Climate Change Conference is brought to you by the Ag Emissions Centre in partnership with AgriZero and MPI. The event brings together international market leaders, policymakers, rural professionals, scientists, and farmers to examine what these changes mean for New Zealand and how the country can respond strategically.
Speakers include Hon. Todd McClay, with our emcee Climate and Energy Communicator Eloise Gibson guiding the conversation across both days. Alexander Hillary will deliver an aspirational talk to inspire and challenge attendees. The evening dinner on 29 April will feature guest speaker Oliver Hunt, with Sue Bidrose as emcee.
Additional Conference Features
All plenary sessions will be live-streamed, with recordings available to online and in-person delegates
Networking and Q&A opportunities built into the programme
Optional conference dinner celebrating innovation in low-emissions agriculture.
