AgriZeroNZ backs farmer-led startup set to tackle nitrate leaching and nitrous oxide emissions while lifting pasture growth
Summary
mua has raised $1.2 million from AgriZeroNZ to accelerate development of its cow wearable device. The startup aims to spread nitrogen from cow urine more evenly across paddocks, which could cut nitrate leaching and nitrous oxide emissions while supporting pasture growth. Trials have already validated a prototype on dairy farms, and the next step is to build a minimum viable product for pilot trials in 2026. The investment marks AgriZeroNZ's first equity investment in nitrous oxide mitigation and signals confidence in the product's environmental and farm economics value.
