Rewarding Sustainable Practices
This research follows on from the successful Integrating Value Chains programme. It is testing whether the key characteristics identified in that programme as important for a successful value chain have validity for designing a new value chain for a New Zealand land-based export product. The scope of the project is to deliver validated new knowledge to leaders who are transforming New Zealand’s primary sector in line with the mission of the Our Land and Water National Science Challenge.
The Our Land and Water National Science Challenge is funding this research programme from January 2020 to June 2022. It is part of a larger theme called Incentives for Change, whose goal is for New Zealand to produce high-value products across all sectors, and share more of this value from consumers to producers in a way that rewards good environmental, social and cultural practices.
