A podcast mini-series produced as part of a project working with farmers in the Upper Taieri Wai catchment group (Ranfurly, Central Otago, New Zealand) to identify alternative land uses for diversification (not just limited to agriculture) that can fit within their current farming system and provide information on these. The project involves local ideas and face-to-face farmer workshops to ensure valuable and relevant information to our community! This project facilitated by The Whole Story and funded by the Department of Conservation Ngā Awa Project and the Our Land and Water National Science Challenge.
