Schedule 10: Our Land and Water: Toitū te Whenua, Toiora te Wai
1. Objective
1.1 This Challenge will enhance primary sector production and productivity while maintaining and improving our land and water quality for future generations.
2. Funding
2.1 The Science Board may allocate no more than $96.9 million (excl GST) for up to 10 years for Our Land and Water: Toitū te Whenua, Toiora te Wai and no more than $27.6 million (excl GST) for the first five years.
3. Specific eligibility criteria
3.1 To be eligible for funding under this Challenge the applicant must provide a proposal for research, science, and technology, or related activities that:
(a) addresses all or most of the “themes” in the table below; and
(b) is directed towards meeting the “outcome statements” in the table below:
| Themes | Outcome statements |
|---|---|
| Defining and meeting social values | Society has confidence in New Zealand’s primary production systems because they meet the social, environmental, cultural, Māori and economic requirements of New Zealanders and their markets, including maintenance and improvement of their land and water quality. |
| Optimising primary sector supply chains | Technical barriers, and other barriers are identified and overcome (if science can address these), and product performance requirements are met to optimise value to New Zealand’s primary producers and processors, and consumers. |
| Land and water management | The functions and environmental limits of land and water systems are sufficiently understood and defined within societal, cultural, Māori and economic values, rights and interests and incorporated into sustainable production systems. |
| Adaptable, responsive and resilient land-based primary production systems | Sustainable productive capacity and profitability are ensured, by developing and adopting tools, technologies and systems that support a flexible and responsive primary industry. |
3.2 If the applicant can better meet the Challenge objective with different theme(s) and/or outcome(s) it may in its proposal vary a theme or outcome providing it gives reasons for such change. The Science Board will decide whether such change better enables the Challenge objective to be met.
