Research from UC’s Dr Anna Earl is exploring how our farming industry can tap into the lucrative high-end Wagyu beef market by overcoming barriers like infrastructure, policy, and sustainability challenges. 🌍🐂 By adding value to our beef exports and targeting countries like China, the UK, and the US, New Zealand could stand out in this premium sector, offering world-class Wagyu beef known for its marbling, flavour, and tenderness. #futurefood #SustainableFarming #NZAgriculture Read more here> canterbury.ac.nz/news-and-ev…

🌱 Our biodiversity meadow is springing to life just in time for Study Week! 🌼 The meadow was transformed in 2023, and is a thriving space for biodiversity and a favourite spot for students and staff to unwind. With more native plants planned as well as ongoing research to track its impact, the meadow is blooming into a key part of our sustainability journey. We'll be keeping you posted over the next few months as the flowers continue to grow and transform this vibrant space. 🌿 #Biodiversity #Sustainability #UCNZ
