OUR PUBLICATIONS

Methane Sources, Sinks and Uncertainties

cover The global warming gasses, water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide all cycle differently through the environment but are bundled into CO₂ equivalents. Methane Sources, Sinks and Uncertainties explores aspects of methane’s cycling through the environment. The Team was Peter Bruce-Iri (NorthTec), Max Purnell, Walter Jehne (Regenerate Australia) Alfred Harris and Thorsten Arnold.

Whakaora ngā whenua whāma: Utilising mātauranga Māori and Western science to protect and restore the soil on rural farms in Te Tai Tokerau.

report cover The Whakaora ngā whenua whāma report was prepared for UNESCO and explores the interface between mātauranga Māori and regenerative agriculture. The Project team was Peter Bruce-Iri and Catherine Murupaenga-Ikenn (NorthTec), Dr Mere Kepa, Dr Benjamin Pittman, Marcus Williams (Unitec) and Graham Shepherd (BioAgrinomics).

Soil Carbon Sequestration: A Contested Space in Science

Soil carbon contested space This discussion paper explores how science and other stakeholder interests inhibit the development of soil carbon sequestration as a mitigation tool for New Zealand. Stakeholders groups who influence this are farmers, the agribusiness ecosystem, science and innovation, policy makers and the community (including customers). Ideally New Zealand will learn from regenerative farmers and learn to embrace their methods.
