Research is at the core of what we do. With a focus on the areas of land, food and ecosystems, our researchers are helping solve global challenges for people, planet and prosperity.

We are proud of our research excellence and our contribution to:

• scientific breakthroughs
• solving real world problems for government, businesses and communities
• advancing knowledge
• informing and shaping public policy
• developing social discourse.

Our goal is to secure improved social, cultural, environmental and conservation outcomes in the areas of agriculture and food, environmental planning and resource management, tourism and recreation, agribusiness, biosecurity and other forms of land use. These areas are critical to New Zealand’s economy and social fabric.

As the population grows, food supply and production will become key. So will sustaining the environment for future generations. As these two, potentially conflicting, concepts become increasingly pressing we will also want to individually and collectively live well, flourish and succeed in the places we inhabit and visit, participating in the activities and pursuits we value, through the land that supports what we do. Lincoln University is a uniquely and deliberately specialised university finding solutions for these challenges.
