Analysis of New Zealand Agricultural Systems

Developed with the support of the Fertiliser Association of New Zealand (FANZ), this course will introduce the participants to the scale and operation of agriculture and its importance within New Zealand, provide a framework for appreciating ‘systems’, along with an understanding of major drivers that have, and will continue to, shape New Zealand agricultural systems. This course will also highlight how a rural professional might engage and communicate with a farmer and will reinforce that while systems are complex, there are common ways of describing them and that potential changes at a system level have multiple impacts and multiple solutions.
