Sustainability Practices in New Zealand Agricultural Landscapes under an Open Market Policy Regime

Abstract

Current best practice in New Zealand landscape management at the interface of the global trade agenda with local landscape sustainability is identified through key informants and report literature, and classified into two categories. Systemic management practices such as product certification and nutrient budgets complement and contrast with territorial practices such as riparian planting, environment farm plans, area co-management and integrated catchment plans. Expert informants highlighted the importance for best practice of local leadership, enlightened self-interest and partnerships based on trust. Further research is needed into ways to better integrate the strengths of each approach, and on the role of the local political economy and local governance in shaping distinctive combinations of local practice.
