Taieri Land Use Diversification Opportunities

This website shares a variety of resources produced by a project working with farmers in the Upper Taieri Wai catchment group (Ranfurly, Central Otago) to identify alternative land uses for diversification that fit within their current farming system.

• a six-episode podcast mini-series
• seven recorded workshop presentations with supporting slide decks
• a multi-criteria decision support tool (with in-depth instructions on how to use it)
• an extensive list of resources for a wide range of diversification options identified by the farmer cohort

The project involved locally generated ideas and face-to-face farmer workshops with the implementation of a decision-making support tool to ensure valuable and relevant information was provided. Facilitated by The Whole Story with funding from the Department of Conservation Ngā Awa Project and Our Land and Water
