The NZ food system is complex, including what we produce, the resources needed, the final uses of produced commodities, and consequences of production and use. It’s also constantly evolving.
There are many views on the ideal future of the system and the path that must be taken to achieve this future. However, there is limited understanding of the areas of agreement and of tension across these diverse viewpoints and the extent that individuals, organisations and sectors are implicitly or explicitly making trade-offs across the various dimensions of the food system: environmental, economic, and human outcomes.
The aim of this PhD is to help fill this gap in our understanding. Enhancing our knowledge of the factors underlying the divergent views will help identify the key barriers to development of a shared vision for the food system which is an important precursor to the transition process.
The PhD is aligned with the Kai anamata mō Aotearoa Research Programme, which, as one of its deliverables, will produce a computational model of the NZ food system allowing for future scenario testing.
It is envisaged that the PhD will likely involve:
The PhD is hosted by Lincoln University, in Lincoln, Canterbury, New Zealand. It will also be affiliated with the Riddet Institute, a New Zealand Centre of Research Excellence, benefiting from the student programmes run by the Institute.
The 3.5 year scholarship includes an annual tax-free stipend of NZD$35,000 and tuition fees.
