LandWISE Conference 2026
Havelock North Function Centre
27 – 28 May 2026
Our “Soil Health for Profit” theme in 2026 was, in some ways, a return to the past. LandWISE arose out of work to combat soil erosion through use of minimum tillage and we’re returning to strip-till in 2026. A lot has been learned in the intervening years! Along with that, we looked at what can be done to measure and manage crop nutrition and soil health to ensure sustainability and long-term profitability.
We had international speakers from Pennsylvania and Tasmania complementing national and local growers and experts. They shared information and experiences about crop nutrition, soil health, regenerative systems in pastoral, kiwifruit and cropping systems, and how they set out to build profitable enterprises with a focus on soil health and an eye to wider sustainability ambitions. We asked them to offer ideas of things to take home and apply or try – to feed the appetites of keen delegates. They delivered!
