Discovery Issue 40
The land sustains us all. Our national identity and legacy to future generations are shaped by our treasured biodiversity and landscapes. Landcare Research’s science enables the sustainable and productive use of those natural assets.We believe innovation, in the sustainable management of New Zealand’s land resources and biodiversity, is the key to ensuring our society can develop within environmental limits into the future, meeting both community and market expectations.
At Landcare Research innovation is both pushing the frontiers of what we understand about our environment and also creating new solutions that are adopted and have impact. Our science teams work the length of New Zealand, in the Pacific and all around the world to generate innovation.
But without adoption innovation is sterile. At Landcare Research we are proud of the relationships we have with individuals and organisations who work with our teams to adopt new knowledge and solutions.
In each issue of Discovery we include topical stories from our science. Many of these include video and other content, including commentary by our partners and clients. Many of these projects are ongoing and we provide contact details if you want more information or would like to get involved.
