MPI are interested in literature that reflects a wide knowledge base, including Te Ao Māori world views and Mātauranga Māori. We are open to the providers subcontracting specialist knowledge to meet this requirement. MPI are looking for a literature review that answers the following questions:
QUESTION 1: Complete review of existing best practice guides currently available for the sector. We need to include seed collection, eco-sourcing, plant quality standards, and biosecurity.
QUESTION 2: What technology is available currently to trace seed source and provenance within the native nursery sector. This is important due to the following challenges:
• Seedlings alone may not be enough to reach the target volumes set by the Climate Change Commission for native afforestation.
• Eco-sourcing is important to stakeholders
• Managing genetic diversity when utilising mother trees
• Cultural whakapapa of native trees
