ABSTRACT Climate change is already being experienced across the primary sector in Aotearoa New Zealand. Adapting to the impacts already being observed, while also anticipating future impacts, requires consideration of different time frames as well as grounding within the farmer or grower’s own contexts. Uncertainty regarding longer-term climatic changes can present challenges for decision-making in the present time, but a growing body of analytical and practical processes can support this. Although some farmers are experimenting with different types of adaptation, more generally there is a dearth of action, particularly planning beyond the present and immediate future. Policy for monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness and lifetimes of adaptation actions is required, as well as extension services supporting farmers and growers.

ABSTRACT Climate change will have far-reaching negative impacts on all aspects of Earth’s state and functions, including ongoing biodiversity decline and threats to agricultural production. These effects will be dependent on geographic location; for example, parts of New Zealand are predicted to have increased flooding, drought and wildfires, depending on the local environmental context. Effects of climate change on agricultural production will be both direct, such as crop losses due to flooding, and indirect, such as increased invasive pest insect and weed pressure on horticultural production or decline in water capture capacity in pastoral South Island High Country tussock grasslands due to increased fire frequency combined with grazing. It is crucial to understand the complex, interactive effects of climate change on agroecosystems, mediated by biodiversity, if human interventions, such as land management, are to be developed and effectively applied to mitigate negative consequences. Even better is if those interventions can be used to address the biodiversity crisis. Nature-based Solutions is a framework that offers such solutions; however, improved scientific understanding of these interacting processes within agroecosystems is required at multiple temporal and spatial scales to justify sector investment for changes in agricultural land management practices that enhance production and native biodiversity.

Food waste is a significant problem in Aotearoa New Zealand. It puts unnecessary pressure on our environment, it creates emissions, it contributes to food poverty, and it is a lost economic opportunity. What we need to do is to stop accepting waste generation as a necessary ingrained part of our production and consumption systems. Rather we need to think boldly about creating a whole menu of solutions to reduce food waste. This paper overviews what we know about food waste at each stage of the supply chain, providing both an overview of quantities and drivers of waste, before presenting key actions and recommendations for change. A call is made to NZ's economic society for research demonstrating the business case for food waste reduction, at a national, regional, and business level, to help spur investment in this crucial area. Likewise, economic analyses that show which potential solutions yield the highest overall economic impact are also encouraged.

Using the longitudinal data on New Zealand District Health Boards (DHBs) for the period 2011-2018, the total factor productivity (TFP) change and its components are evaluated using an input distance function and a cost function. The empirical results indicate that TFP decreased at an average rate of between 0.73 and 0.98 per cent annually, mainly due to the deterioration of the technological component, which averaged close to −2 per cent between 2011 and 2018. However, contrary to the technological component, the scale component improved every year at an average rate of 1–1.16 per cent, thus cushioning some of the effects of the deteriorating technological component of the TFP. The TFP also posted a one-off positive growth in 2016, following the nationwide implementation of an ‘elective initiative’ programme in the 2015–2016 year, which raised both the scale and efficiency (technical and cost) components to their highest levels. Furthermore, the study also demonstrates the consistency in the effect of scale and technological change components on the TFP under both primal and dual approaches.

This study empirically tests whether the loss aversion or hand-to-mouth theories of consumption behaviour is present in Fiji. The loss aversion hypothesis implies that consumers would maintain their consumption when income falls. To estimate this model, we apply the nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag model with annual data from 1981 to 2019. Our findings are in contrast to the predictions of the loss aversion hypothesis and support the hand-to-mouth hypothesis in Fiji. The results are robust to alternative measures of liquidity, and a sample that includes the COVID-19 pandemic. We contribute to the literature by providing evidence of nonlinearity’s in the consumption-income association. The findings are useful for policymakers in developing countries for policies on economic growth and stabilization.

ABSTRACT The need for agriculture to contribute to economic development in the Pacific is greatest in Melanesia, given rapid population growth and limited emigration options compared with those available to the Polynesian countries. The non-agricultural sector in Melanesia has not grown fast enough to enable rapid labour transfer out of agriculture. With high labour costs and remoteness from world markets the main internationally competitive export industries exploit non-renewable resources or use unsustainably high extraction rates for renewable resources such as forests. These activities fund imports and government revenue but generate little employment. Given this limited structural transformation, the major role of agriculture is in providing food and livelihoods for most households. Policy interventions are not always helpful because of confusion between food security and self-sufficiency and due to data weaknesses. Whether indigenous farming systems can continue to adapt to rising food demand fuelled by rapid population growth remains an open question.

ABSTRACT Agroforestry is recognised as a land management system balancing goals of environmental conservation with the socioeconomic needs of communities. In Fiji while traditional agroforestry is rapidly eroding due to modernisation and commercialisation of food systems, institutional agroforestry has failed to reintroduce trees in farming systems. This paper is a discussion on the challenges, opportunities, and policy interventions affecting agroforestry. Weak extension activities, lack of an institutional champion, organisational silos, lack of awareness and poor understanding of agroforestry, low focus on native trees, poor land and resource rights of women, and lack of economic incentives are among the major constraints to agroforestry adoption. An agroforestry policy should create enabling conditions for institutional support and coordination between diverse sectors, raising awareness and dissemination of success stories, harmonising traditional and modern agroforestry, mainstreaming gender in agroforestry decision making, strengthening agroforestry extension, generating short-term and long-term economic incentives, and agroforestry research and curricula development.

ABSTRACT Innovation and technology are a feature of New Zealand’s dairy sector. To overcome current challenges, dairy farmers require agile and multi-dimensional innovation, supported by forward-looking and integrated policy from both the sector and government. In this paper, we outline some of the current dairy sector challenges, and potential technologies to address these challenges. We focus on the future for digital agriculture innovation and discuss policy approaches to enable the sector to leverage digitalisation. These approaches include co-innovation, responsible innovation, multi-scale approaches, micro-innovation and poly-innovation and mission-oriented innovation. Digital agriculture and policy may interact in two ways: (1) policy may be used to enhance digital agriculture innovation and, (2) digitalisation itself may act to enhance agricultural policy design and delivery. Overall, innovation policy requires greater directionality, use of policy bundles and a focus on technology as a mediator of new dairy farming practices and institutional configurations.

ABSTRACT Aotearoa New Zealand’s livestock industries are well served by regulatory systems for biosecurity and animal welfare. These systems have been developed over many decades within the context of high economic value, including export earnings, from industry outputs. System participants across policymakers, animal industries and advocacy groups are highly engaged. Under intense current scrutiny from the perspective of environmental sustainability, the sector also remains at risk from external and internal threats in the form of disease outbreaks and erosion of social license associated with husbandry practices in a society where the urban and rural divide continues to grow. This article explores the local and international context for these challenges, and re-affirms the importance of commitment to multilateral institutions, national good regulatory practices and inclusive governance.

ABSTRACT This perspective piece considers how principles of Māori Data Sovereignty can bring us closer to realising some of the social and environmental promises of new AgTech and the agricultural big data they produce. Our analysis is situated within the settler colonial context of Aotearoa New Zealand. We consider how obligations detailed within treaties guaranteeing equal partnership and Māori self-determination provide the foundation for: (1) acknowledging how the promises of agricultural big data depend on the people, priorities, practices and power relations that guide and enact them; and (2) creating the space to question and challenge current trajectories to ensure agricultural big data are collected and used in ways that promote data sovereignty and an equitable distribution of benefits. We argue that, due to their treaty obligations, publicly-funded projects developing AgTech and agricultural big data analytics in and for Aotearoa must begin developing equity- and sovereignty-promoting data management and governance practices.
