Sustainable Land Management
Wairoa Sustainable Land Management Strategy Options
The Hawke's Bay Regional Council commissioned Ekos (which subcontracted Carbon Partnership) to develop an 'options paper' to the Minister for Primary Industries and the Hawke's Bay Regional Council. The task involved consulting with local, regional and national stakeholders to explore options to address acute soil erosion in both a forestry and pastoral context for Northern Hawke’s Bay. This included scoping potential piloting approaches for broader application. The consultant used an 'Ecological Infrastructure' approach to sustainable land management investment and policy for the sub-region.
Funder/Client: Hawke's Bay Regional Council and Ekos. Status: Completed.

Smart Farming Programme

This programme was called the Smart Farming Programme and focused on reducing real and perceived risk to participating farmers seeking to manage such a transition.

Integrated Financing Strategies For Sustainable Land Management in Fiji and Samoa
The UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) is also a convention on sustainable land management (SLM). Fiji and Samoa were signatories to this convention and wanted to develop a policy framework for financing SLM. Carbon Partnership co-authored the first report following consultations with government agencies and site visits to Fiji and Samoa. Carbon Partnership used an Ecological Infrastructure approach in this work, to show how investments in sustainable land management can be justified in the Ministry of Finance in both countries.
