Overview

The Native Afforestation Research Programme is an initiative aimed to identify and provide guidance to remove barriers to the establishment of native forests, creating long-term carbon sinks to offset emissions that are difficult to eliminate. A key component of this initiative is addressing the gaps in mātauranga Māori approaches within native nursery practices. This project seeks to build on previous research by conducting a focused review and interviews with Māori-led nurseries to gather insights on seed collection, plant quality standards, traceability systems, and biosecurity.This research will focus on addressing gaps identified in previous studies by conducting a desk-based literature review and interviews with Māori-led nurseries. The aim is to gather insights on seed collection, plant quality standards, traceability systems, and biosecurity.
Supplier(s) should explore how traditional Māori knowledge can inform and enhance contemporary nursery practices. The research should include both mainstream scientific approaches and relevant mātauranga Māori practices for promoting sustainable native plant production. Proposed solutions must provide a thorough analysis of how mātauranga Māori can be integrated into existing nursery frameworks, ensuring culturally appropriate recommendations. If additional approaches or methods are proposed, detailed justification and potential benefits should be provided, ensuring they remain within the budget range
