Our research is rooted in farmer perceptions, responses to policy and behavioural drivers within the context of wellbeing, environmental stewardship and economic prosperity. For example, we recently conducted a study about conflicts between what it means to be a \u2018good farmer\u2019and changes in freshwater policy (Walton et al. 2023).<\/div>\n<div class=\"gsh_csp\">An important insight from our engagement with farmers is that managing freshwater quality and native biodiversity is foremost about managing people. Farmers and other landowners are experiencing multiple pressures from changes in freshwater management (National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management 2020), biodiversity directives (National Policy Statement for Indigenous Biodiversity 2022) and the requirement to measure emissions on farms (He Waka Eke Noa 2019, 2022). This is leading to tension between biodiverse practices and productive land use on privately owned land in Aotearoa New Zealand and globally. Protecting native biodiversity on privately owned land has regional and national benefits but establishment costs, compliance costs and opportunity costs from forgone income (Clough, 2000) are borne by the landholder. These opportunity costs are often overlooked and land practices that protect and enhance biodiversity on privately owned land currently lack both financial incentives and financial establishment support for their uptake.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>More: <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.otago.ac.nz\/envecon\/files\/2024\/01\/BAP-submission_Helping-Nature_final-appendix.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/blogs.otago.ac.nz\/envecon\/files\/2024\/01\/BAP-submission_Helping-Nature_final-appendix.pdf<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Authors:\u00a0Janice Lord, Sara Walton, Viktoria Kahui, Joel Hjelte, Matthew Larcombe, Craig Bunt Publication date:\u00a02023\/10\/24 We are a multi-disciplinary team at the University of Otago researching the opportunities and implications for rural communities of Aotearoa New Zealand\u2019s journey towards a net zero carbon future.
