Sustainable Land and Nutrient Management

Land is our language: What we choose to use it for, the way we manage it, and how we look to transform it for the future. With a diverse range of complementary skillsets, we can help support you to come up with innovative solutions to manage, mitigate and transform the land sustainability.

We offer assistance and consultation with:

Pastoral, horticulture and forestry systems
Integrated systems e.g. agroforestry
Nutrient management
Environmental impact assessments of productive systems
Soil properties and processes
Highly productive land
Land use diversification
Geographic Information Systems (GIS), satellite image analysis, terrain analysis, and drone capability
Systems thinking, circular bioeconomy and bioeconomy innovation
Farm systems modelling
Assessment of Environmental Effects (AEE)
Workshop facilitation (including graphic facilitation) and stakeholder relationships
Project management

Projects

Complex data can be difficult to navigate, particularly when it is sourced from multiple sites. We have utilised ArcGIS Storymap to translate water quality and catchment information into a visual story for catchment groups and community groups.

Storymap can also be used instead of, or complementary to, a report output. Providing an engaging, interactive web-based output for the community of interest. See some examples below:

Our Land and Water Rural Professional Fund supported a WSP led project looking at Agroforestry for Irrigated Dairy Farms in Canterbury. This storymap was created as a complementary output to the final report.
