Lincoln University's Integral Health Farm Field Day

Monday 4 December 1pm - 5pm

Ashley Dene Research and Development Station

736 Bethels Road, Springston

Society is increasingly aware of the connection between the health of the land, of animals and of humans. Visions of ‘foodscapes’ and ‘healthscapes’ are eclipsing the conventional view of landscapes focused solely on production. Aotearoa’s dairy farming systems must co-evolve with this thinking.  Lincoln University CoE DFPL has designed and is implementing the Integral Health Dairy Farm to test and communicate these new and transformational systems views.

The integral health Dairy Farm was conceived and designed as a strategic technological niche for system and embedded component research approaches, enabling sustainable innovation journeys. The project aims to create a protected space that allows experimentation to co-evolve with technology of processes and inputs, user practices and regulatory structures. The project’s niche space welcomes and protects small application domains with radical, novel ideas and incipient technical and social innovations, giving them an opportunity to mature. In this process, new ideas and technology evolve into multiple dimensions, creating ‘configurations that work’, influencing user and consumer preferences, and desirable product development.
 

Join us for the second Lincoln University Integral Health Dairy Farm Field Day.

Due to space, health and safety and biosecurity limitations, registration is essential.
