Creating a Thriving Food and Fibre Sector for Rangatahi in Aotearoa: He Ara Whakatipu
Ka mua, ki muri – Walking backwards into the future The food and fibre sector stands as a cornerstone of Aotearoa’s economy, employing 367,000 people and contributing significantly through agriculture, horticulture, forestry, and fisheries. With Māori assets in the sector valued at over $23 billion, and rangatahi Māori comprising a substantial proportion of the Māori population, the future of the industry is intrinsically linked to the empowerment and success of these young leaders.
Kaitiakitanga as a pathway to enduring prosperity
This research report explores Kaitiakitanga, a guiding principle rooted in Māori values of guardianship, whakapapa (genealogy), and tikanga (customs) that sustain the people and land of Te Moana a Toi (Bay of Plenty). Anchored in a Kaupapa (agenda / topic) Māori research framework, the study delves into how Māori land trusts and incorporations exercise Kaitiakitanga in their governance and land management practices to build hei taurikura (people thriving with prosperity).
How do we fund the next phase?
Aotearoa’s agricultural sector plays a key role in the nation’s economy and sustainable future. It is a key driver of the country’s future economic prosperity, with exports from it projected to reach $67 billion by 2030. However, this prosperity faces significant challenges. Access to capital is constraining the sector’s sustainability, productivity, and transition to the next generation of farmers.
Navigating Genetic Technology - Supporting Dairy Farmers Through Regulatory Reform and Adoption
Background There have been significant advancements in genetic technology over the last ten years. Modern genetic technology is now more precise and capable of producing genetically modified organisms with changes similar to those that could have been achieved naturally. The world is responding to these advancements, prompting many countries to adopt more liberal and precise regulatory frameworks. New Zealand is one of these countries and is now beginning its own regulatory reform process.
The Opportunity for KiwiSaver Investment in NZ Agriculture
The alignment between the long-term investment objectives of KiwiSaver and the resilience of New Zealand’s food and agriculture supply chain presents a compelling case for increased domestic investment; however, less than 2% of the $115 billion of KiwiSaver funds have been invested in New Zealand’s private markets, with even less allocated to the food and agriculture sectors. Private domestic and foreign investors are experiencing the benefits of exposure to this asset class.
The Power of Stakeholder Engagement to Establish a Social Licence to Operate - Perspectives from Dairy Technologies
The New Zealand dairy sector constantly researches new products and technology for improved efficiency to sustainably meet growing production demands with fewer resources. The assessment of the value of innovation is no longer determined by monetary gains alone; the public perception of the innovation and its impact on the sector’s social licence to operate (SLO) are paramount in the current climate.
Farmer learning preferences around pasture and homegrown feed.
The most profitable farm businesses in New Zealand value the utilisation of pasture and homegrown forage first and foremost. They understand the importance of feed grown and eaten at home, and they farm to get the most from this cheapest form of feed. But what do we know about the learning preferences of our farmers to efficiently grow and harvest homegrown feed in their farm systems?
Process mapping within farm consultancy.
Disruption has become a constant condition of doing business. The businesses that are more likely to thrive are those that can not only respond by adapting to continuous change but also become the drivers of that change. The landscape of farming in New Zealand is evolving. Previously it has relied on low-cost competitive advantage. This has been achieved by either increasing productivity or reducing costs, but it is now becoming more difficult to maintain this.
Cricket - The Canowindra Phoenix
Season start date is 22 October which is later than usual due to ongoing wet weather. There are 2 draws one for the main 40 over season and another for the Twenty20. Currently both Molong grounds are to a certain extent, under water and as you would expect unplayable. If the wet weather continues the executive will amend the draw and you will be advised. Currently we have scheduled the normal 3 rounds in, but it may revert to two pending weather.
