Pūtaiao Issue 21. Loam truths: science for better soil and land management
Each issue of Pūtaiao describes the benefits and impact of our science in helping to ensure a sustainable, productive future for Aotearoa New Zealand. This issue shows the progress we are making in science for our soils and land resources.
Soils are an essential underpinning for all human activities on earth. Some 95% of our food depends on productive, healthy soils. But soils are largely hidden, and most people don’t give them a second thought.
Our scientists work across all aspects of soil science and land management, as the following stories show. Our work is trusted and sought for its dependability, upon which sensible and robust resource management decisions can be made, and environmental limits can be set.
If you wish to be included on the mailing list for Pūtaiao, or to find out more about any of the stories, contact Dan Park on Parkdj@landcareresearch.co.nz
