Join us for the next event in the 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.
Covering over a quarter of China’s landmass, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is the largest grassland plateau on earth, and a globally significant ecological zone. It also provides the livelihood of 5 million people, ninety per cent of which are engaged in farming and herding. On these high-altitude grasslands farming is faced with increasing sustainability pressures in a deteriorating landscape while trying to maintain economic viability.
Join us as Professor Jim Moir delves into the challenges faced in this immense grassland environment and the work of LU researchers who visit there.
Wednesday 23rd October
4.00pm-5.30pm
Inaka Room, Waimarie Building, Lincoln University
