Local community involvement is one of the keys to the long-term health of our rivers and lakes, and communities like catchment groups can play a major role in land-use transitions. Over eight years of research, we’ve learned about the support catchment groups need to meet both their own goals and the expectations their funders have of them.

In this episode, we hear how catchment groups are connecting and leading local initiatives that support landowners to investigate new opportunities and adopt change together.

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.
