Bioprotection Aotearoa is a Centre of Research Excellence (CoRE), funded by the Tertiary Education Commission. We exist to train the next generation of bioprotection researchers and to deliver world-class research that protects the productive and natural landscapes of Aotearoa New Zealand. We’re working towards an Aotearoa New Zealand where communities are empowered with the knowledge to act as kaitiaki of our whenua, supporting healthy and resilient environments where our mokopuna can thrive. Our mission is to educate our nation’s future bioprotection leaders by collaborating to conduct pioneering, multi-disciplinary research that addresses the environmental challenges Aotearoa New Zealand is facing. Building on the whakapapa of the Bio-Protection Research centre, we are based at Lincoln University, New Zealand, with 11 partner universities and crown research institutes. Our partners are: AgResearch, Lincoln University, Manaaki Whenua – Landcare Research, Massey University, Plant & Food Research, Scion, University of Auckland, University of Canterbury, University of Otago, University of Waikato, Victoria University of Wellington. We draw on our collective academic strengths to develop new and innovative solutions that protect our productive and natural landscapes from climate change, pathogens, pests and weeds. Our kaupapa is guided by a unique mātauranga Māori and science framework – Te Taiao-a-rangi – which supports a holistic, systems-level approach to achieving intergenerational environmental sustainability.
