Vision 2030 by Impact Hub aims to amplify future focused solutions in the New Zealand context.

Vision 2030 is a quarterly event series where we bring together communities of experts and the broader public to focus on sustainable and societal solutions. We intend to inspire by inviting international and national thought-leaders, practitioners and experts to discuss and showcase solutions. The first event will be online, with future events to be in-person.

Vision 2030 is focused on action.

REGENERATE NOW!

The regenerative movement is gaining momentum as a natural maturation of sustainability. With environmental degradation becoming increasingly present, sustainability is not enough. We need to restore. At the first event of the Vision 2030 series, we will focus on the topic of REGENERATION.

Forms of regenerative farming have been practised around the world for decades. With increasing signs of soil depletion and the potential of carbon storage, the topic is gaining momentum. In New Zealand, several local examples serve as beacons of good practice but it remains a niche area. With the Zero Carbon Bill coming into force, it is imperative that the agricultural sector moves towards more sustainable practices. Regenerative farming could be a viable solution. We will explore the opportunities and barriers for NZ farmers, discuss pros and cons, assess necessities for innovation and learn about the practices of regenerative farming.

Ryland Engelhart of Kiss the Ground, Dan Eb from Dirt Road Comms, Greg Hart of Mangarara Station, Miah Smith from Atiamuri and Gina Lucci from AgResearch .
