No climate, no food? Climate change and agriculture in Aotearoa New Zealand

Join us for our first event in a new Series: Te Whare Wānaka o Aoraki Lincoln University Excellence Series. This series has been designed to showcase leadership in various disciplines including the opportunity to promote the University’s distinctive and impactful applied research. This series celebrates research excellence and promotes a public forum to a broader community, highlighting Lincoln University’s specialist land-based contribution to driving New Zealand’s prosperity and intergenerational wellbeing.
 
Kicking off our first sessions is Anita Wreford, professor in the AERU at Lincoln University, will speak about what climate change means for agriculture in Aotearoa New Zealand.  Based on over twenty years’ research experience in this area, she will explore the complex relationship agriculture has with climate change as both a major contributor to the problem, while facing increasing physical risks from the changes – all while providing food for a growing population and underpinning our rural communities. Anita will explore some of the drivers for change in agriculture, the potential economic and social impacts of addressing climate change,  and the need to develop a shared vision for the future of agriculture as a nation.
