Nitrogen Model for Life Cycle Impact Assessment
Indicators of Rural Resilience
The Indicators Working Group produced this proof-of-concept dataset for 4 rural towns in New Zealand, demonstrating the possibility of hosting research data for general access on a public data repository. This data presents indicators related to the resilience of rural communities (Dannevirke, Huntly, Taumaruniu and Te Kuiti), collected from publicly available official statistics and surveys.
Stocktake of Indicator Projects
A stocktake of existing work on agri-environmental indicators relevant for Our Land and Water was completed by the Indicators Working Group. Some of these focus on environmental linkages, while others focus on economic and production data. The projects listed cover Government projects, industry projects and science projects.
The Matrix of Drivers
The Matrix of Drivers provides market intelligence and foresight into consumer trends and international agreements. Industry bodies can use this research to assess the magnitude of drivers affecting their sector (eg climate change, plant-based protein trends), anticipate change, and assist producers to adapt. Primary sector producers and entrepreneurs can use The Matrix to meet market demands or seek out new high-value, low-footprint opportunities, and avoid lurching from one trend to the next. See table 3.1 in the report.
Consumer Behaviour Surveys
Our Integrating Value Chains research has developed online tools to access and analyse results of consumer surveys in California and Shanghai about consumer behaviour, preferences, technology use, understanding of Māori enterprise, and country of origin preferences.
Aligned Economic Tools
Our research supports the use of these tools, which are aligned to the Our Land and Water mission.

Environmental Domain Reports
The Ministry for the Environment and Stats NZ regularly publish domain reports on the state of New Zealand’s land, fresh water, air, marine and atmosphere.
NZ Sustainability Dashboard
The NZ Sustainability Dashboard has been comprehensively reviewed by our Indicators Working Group and found to be fit-for-purpose. The dashboard provides processes and tools to enable effective sustainability assessment and reporting across different agricultural sectors.
Maximising Export Returns
An interactive dashboard that allows users to explore the credence attributes most highly valued by some of New Zealand’s key export markets.
CSIRO Adopt
ADOPT – the Adoption & Diffusion Outcome Prediction Tool – is an online tool that predicts farmer uptake of new agricultural practices and innovations. It estimates time to near-peak adoption level (99%) within target farmer populations.
LAWA
LAWA is an online map that collates and presents information from regional councils on fresh water and beach water quality, air quality and land cover. It helps local communities and individuals understand and connect with environmental information. The ‘Can I Swim Here’ tool is popular.
