Most companies develop five to 10-year strategic plans, but in Te Ao Māori - the Māori world - the strategic focus is intergenerational, inviting us to consider what things look like over the next 100, 200, or even 500 years.
In this E Tipu IFAMA 2023 talk, Lisa Tumahai, chair of Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu and deputy chair of the Climate Change Commission, discusses Ngāi Tahu’s approach to food and fibre production, and how taking a multigenerational lens might open opportunities to move us all towards a sustainable future.

Talk title: Practical profitable solutions for the farm.
The three pillars of Fonterra’s long-term plans are a continued focus on New Zealand milk; to be a leader in sustainability; and to be a leader in dairy innovation and science.
Improving Fonterra’s already world-leading carbon footprint requires an integrated approach across all three pillars.
For greenhouse gas-reducing solutions to be practical and profitable for the farm, they must be good for the cow, good for the milk, good for the farmer and good for the planet - what Fonterra refers to as the “Good4s”.
In this talk, Hill gives examples of how Fonterra is using the Good4s to test a wide range of solutions.
