Numerous bark- and wood-infesting insects have been introduced to new countries by international trade where some caused severe environmental economic damage. Wood packaging material (WPM), such as pallets, is one of the high risk pathways for introduction wood pests. International recognition this resulted in adoption Standards Phytosanitary Measures No. 15 (ISPM15) 2002, which provides treatment standards WPM used trade. ISPM15 was originally developed members Plant Protection Convention...

A crafted, intelligent book. The prose is remarkably clear, as the argument. Turner offers us intellectual history in something like grand manner. -- Reviews American History
Problems in agriculture and land use are increasingly recognised as complex, uncertain, operating at multiple levels (field to global value chains) involving social, economic, institutional, technological change. This has implications for how projects navigate complexity achieve impact. However, few studies have systematically evaluated project actors engage with other configure capabilities resources across agricultural innovation systems (AIS), from the individual network, mobilise build...
Wood borers and bark beetles are among the most serious forest pests worldwide. Many such species have become successful invaders, often causing substantial, costly damages to forests. Here we design evaluate cost-efficiency of a trap-based surveillance program for early detection wood at risk establishing in New Zealand. Although costly, could lead earlier newly established pests, thereby increasing likelihood eradication reducing control costs from future invasions. We develop mechanistic...
Innovation platforms (IPs) that support agricultural innovation to enable transition processes towards more sustainable agriculture provide a space where conflicts of interest among actors in the existing system (the so called incumbent regime) may play out. Sometimes these over how will benefit from an action are not revealed until brought together. However, barrier change occurs when IP use their power mobilise resources influence if and individual collective interests aligned. In context...
New forms of digital information and communication technologies have the potential to provide a "next generation" agricultural technologies, which can drive improvements in productivity efficiency while reducing risks negative impacts. However, such transformation brings with it significant socio-ethical challenges. Responsible innovation provides insights approaches help guide socially beneficial equitable directions. Drawing on authors' involvement agriculture programmes two public...
Agricultural Research Organisations (AROs) are being urgently called to provide solutions for agri-food system transformation. However, contrasting visions of how transformation should be achieved create difficult choices AROs. This paper reviews existing narratives build four scenarios future AROs: 1. Industry transition-oriented; 2. Technology mission-oriented; 3. The Community innovation-oriented; and 4. Facilitating transformative innovation-oriented. Their analysis uncovers possible...

A recently implemented research and development (R&D) programme in New Zealand is attempting to implement co-innovation principles throughout the country's agricultural sector. It based on an innovation systems (AIS) approach, using five platforms (IPs) leading industries, plus a national-level I P. This paper presents analyses emerging challenges of operationalizing transdisciplinary connected context programme. The main relate managing complexity multi-stakeholder network, aligning...
Abstract This article analyses digital agricultural technologies (agtech) innovation in two public research organisations Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand through the lens of responsible (RI), how corresponding activities were realised practice. Four virtual workshops explored operationalisation RI its efficacy agtech development. Thematic analysis workshop materials provided scope to assess recognised value both programmes, which we found lagging behind RI's full, perhaps idealised,...
Abstract The sustainability of pastoral farming must rapidly improve to protect land, water, and climate. However, producers meat dairy products also need economically viable pathways for this transition. One approach is accessing markets that prioritize attributes. This study investigated trends in new launched with claims the USA, China, UK from 2004 2023. Using data Mintel GNPD database trend regression analysis, number, share, location quotient such product launches were determined....
