Collaborating and/or working with Landcare Research

Landcare Research is New Zealand’s leading provider of solutions and advice for sustainable development and the management of land-based natural resources.

As one of eight NZ Crown Research Institutes we undertake research in areas where the benefits and outcomes will flow to the entire country, and specialise in medium to long term challenging science which is generally not viable for industry or business.  However, our research is firmly grounded in the real world, with partnerships, end-user implementation teams and research steering groups drawn from relevant industry, business and government organisations.

The vision of “Innovative Science for a Sustainable Future” steers us toward three key outcome areas:

These in turn are underpinned by three cross cutting themes:

There is no ivory tower….
Application of research findings, short / medium term projects to explore specific aspects of a topic in which we have expertise, and consultancy to explore or solve a particular problem also help us make our research more useful to business and government.
