The Country: Finance Minister in a Waiau Cow Paddock

The Minister is at the paddock where Kiwi ag-tech company, Āmua, has secured $1.2 million from AgriZeroNZ to develop wearable technology for cows.
- The technology enables even distribution of nitrogen in cow urine as fertiliser.
- Potentially solves freshwater nitrate leaching and nitrous oxide emissions.
