CONFERENCE PROGRAMME (Subject to change)
PRE-CONFERENCE SYMPOSIUM: LAND USE PRACTICE CHANGE & ADOPTION
29 August 2018
Room RHMZ03
Rutherford House, Victoria University Wellington
The answer seems to be change, now how do we achieve it?
Background
A range of global, national and regional drivers are placing increasing demands on those responsible for land-use in New Zealand. This means that social and environmental concerns (around animal welfare, water quality, greenhouse gas emissions, etc.) are increasingly interacting with economic forces to increase the complexity surrounding decision making for land managers. We often hear that change in practices or land-use is required in response to these drivers and concerns, however little concrete is offered as to how this change can be achieved. This workshop, jointly organised between the New Zealand Agricultural & Resource Economics Society (NZARES) and the Australasian Agricultural & Resource Economics Society (AARES) will provide insights into how barriers to change can be overcome and how adoption of innovative practices and technologies can be encouraged to enable New Zealand’s land-based industries to thrive.
What will the Symposium cover?
- Key barriers to climate friendly land-use and how they can be overcome
- Practical examples of how partnerships are leading to the successful adoption of new land-use practices in New Zealand
- Impact Investment – What is it and can it lead to change?
- Insights from Australia and hands on practical experience of using ADOPT (the adoption and diffusion outcome prediction tool) developed by CSIRO in Australia
Who should attend?
Policy makers, land owners, regional councils, academics, industry body representatives and all those with an interest in land-use in New Zealand.
