Lincoln University Reports

The State of the Land Reports are a cornerstone of the initiative, offering independent, evidence-based insights into the environmental, social, and economic trends shaping Aotearoa New Zealand’s land-based sectors. Produced annually and in five-yearly deep-dive formats, these reports draw on expert analysis and trusted data sources to explore key challenges and opportunities across agriculture, biodiversity, food systems, rural economies, and more. Each report is designed to inform policy, guide practice, and spark public conversation.
