Join us for the first event in 2024 for: 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.
This talk will delve into the dynamic interplay between positive developments and challenges within New Zealand's food system. Amidst the intricate web of global trade pressures, environmental uncertainties, and evolving nutritional needs, the complexities faced by our food system will be discussed. Whilst highlighting the strengths that have contributed to its success, the critical issues that prevent us achieving food security will also be addressed. These issues have led to growing calls for a fundamental reset of our food system including the development of a national food strategy as well as the promotion of local food systems. The talk will evaluate the current debate about the future of our food systems, emphasizing the importance of fostering resilience in the face of evolving global and local pressures.
