One of the main findings from Our Land and Water is that we now know where mitigation strategies won’t be enough, and land use needs to change to meet New Zealanders’ expectations for water quality. 

This episode focuses on how we can add more diversity on individual farms – not just what else we can grow, but how we can grow a more diverse mix of products on a small scale. This can add resilience to our changing climate and to the volatility of commodity prices, and we’ve tested some good approaches for connecting farmers to consider diversification options. However, the scale of change required to meet our water quality ambitions poses a huge challenge in some parts of New Zealand.

Our Land and Water introduces insights from eight years of science in this podcast series. In each episode you will hear from the scientists and researchers who were tasked with developing practical tools and resources to help Kiwi farmers decide how to add diversity, increase resilience and tackle environmental challenges for their farms, catchments and communities.

The audio comes from a symposium held over two days in May 2024, and guiding you through the episodes are your hosts Dr Jenny Webster-Brown, director, and Annabel McAleer, communications manager of the Our Land and Water National Science Challenge. In the show notes for each episode, you’ll find links to videos, interactive tools and easy-to-read summaries so you can take a deeper dive into the solutions that will help us navigate new pathways for the future of farming.
