Our Land and Water Podcast Episode 5: How do we pay for change?

<p dir="ltr">We've heard in previous episodes that in parts of New Zealand we'll need some land-use change to reach the water quality we want for our rivers and lakes, but paying for this change is a huge challenge. The scale of change is large, and many farms don't have the funds - so if our society wants this change, how does society pay? </p><p dir="ltr">In this episode, we'll hear about the most developed solution to help farmers pay for change: increase the value of the food we export by making farm management decisions that produce environmentally friendly products that fetch a premium price overseas. We'll also hear some edgier ideas for funding change, like biodiversity incentives, and how collectives of farmers can grow value together. </p><p dir="ltr"><b>Speakers</b>: Caroline Saunders (AERU, Lincoln University), James Turner (AgResearch), Carla Muller (PerrinAg). </p><p dir="ltr"><b>More information</b>:</p><ul><li><a href="https://vimeo.com/showcase/11211827/video/952997622" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">Incentivising and Rewarding Change</a></li><li><a href="https://thevalueproject.nz/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">The Value Project</a></li><li><a href="https://revitalisetetaiao.co.nz/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">Revitalise Te Taiao</a></li><li><a href="https://doi.org/10.57935/AGR.26002960.v1" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">Novel financing solutions for land use change infographic</a></li><li><a href="https://ourlandandwater.nz/topic/increasing-value/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">‘Increasing value’ resources</a></li></ul><p></p>
