Biosecurity Network Interventions

Tranche 1: Project 2.1

The spread of pests, weeds and pathogens into Aotearoa is a major cause of the decline of its biological heritage. This includes profitability of agriculture, access to export markets and the population viability of native and taonga (treasured) species.

To develop and implement modelling tools for nursery trade, livestock movement and recreational travel networks:

  • Map generic patterns of likely introduction and spread through New Zealand.

  • Identify critical points in networks for surveillance.

  • Increase traceability so any outbreak can be traced back to the supplier or importer.

Project Leader:

  • Prof. Phil Hulme, Lincoln University
