Pathway to sustainability

Pathway to sustainability: ZESPRI journey“ensuring a better quality of life for everyone, now and for generations to come.”
1
Issues to consider: • Consumer pressure for a sustainable
economy and means of production.• Growing concerns about climate change.• Green products and the rise of a “green
market”.• Actions toward sustainability.

Scenario: Future, sustainablerural economies
• More people employed in rural based economies
• More local production and processing of food, fibre, energy, biomaterials, pharmaceuticals,
• Local water conservation and energy supply- hydro, solar, wind, biofuels.
• Resource conservation- nutrients, key elements, oil and other fossil resources.

Trade: important but less volume, higher value

Ecosystem approach to development of rural economies
Improved total productivity of
managed lands.
Improved resilience against environmental, social and economic
changes
High biodiversity and community interactions
Efficient resource use
Efficient nutrient use and recycling
Zero waste

Future sustainable rural economies will provide services in a way that will
• Limit emissions into the atmosphere, discharges into waterways and the ocean, and chemicals into soil, to within the assimilative capacities of the relevant ecosystems.
• Substitute renewable resources for non-renewable resources wherever feasible and conserve non-renewable material resources within closed cycles.

Higher productivity- increase biodiversity

Nutrient recycling and zero waste

Zero waste- Bioplastics- reusable or biodegradable

Businesses to support management of rural production

Questions for science
• How do we assess modern and new technologies against requirements of sustainable ecosystems- no change in stability, resiliance, diversity– Genetic technologies especially transgenics– Nanotechnologies– Biopharming technologies
• How do we manage diverse activities and actors to ensure ecosystem functions optimally?
![Page 20: RURAL FUTURES: ALTERNATIVE ECONOMIES Dr Jane Adams.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649e055503460f94af1857/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Questions for policy makers
• What social and legal structures are required to manage multiple resource users of private land.
• How do we account for environmental goods and services provided by activity of multi land owners- and by ecosystem services held in commons?
![Page 21: RURAL FUTURES: ALTERNATIVE ECONOMIES Dr Jane Adams.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649e055503460f94af1857/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Conclusion• Rural communities will be revitalised through
provision of many new goods and services• Food, fibers, biological products and renewable
energy will increase in value.• Trading will be important, but volumes lower,
value higher. Greater local self sufficiency.• Many new rural businesses. Clustered to optimise
resource use and efficiency• Total productivity from managed ecosystems
increased through higher biodiversity .
