Join us for the next event in a new Series: 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.
Animal products reflect the history of our landscapes, foodscapes and agricultural systems manifested through soil and plant chemistry, and thereby our health and that of the planet… (Prof. Pablo Gregorini)
Consumers and producers of animal products are increasingly aware of the intricate connections between the health of the land, animals, and humans, as well as of our collective responsibilities to sustain and enhance Te Taiao for future generations. Consequently, as Pablo, land users, policymakers and wider society are calling for alternative to pastoral systems; a call for functionally diversified-adaptive, and integrative, agro-ecological pastoral systems that simultaneously operate across multiple scales and ‘scapes’. From landscapes and foodscapes to healthscapes.
Professor Pablo Gregorini is leading this event discussing “The creation of ethical and sustainable foodscapes with our productive lands”. During the last 25 years, Pablo has been working on nutrition, foraging ecology and grazing management of domesticated and wild ruminants in different grasslands and rangelands, while staying close to a broader and modern view of agricultural systems, which got him working on issues related to sustainability of agricultural systems around the world exploring how phytochemistry and culture link the palates of humans and herbivores with soil, plants, and landscapes.
Join us as we hear from Professor Pablo Gregorini who will share his research insights into what progress his international LU Pastoral Livestock Production Lab and the Centre of Excellence Designing Future Productive Landscapes have been making, where it may lead to, and some of the challenges that lie ahead.
