- Workshop 2.4 - Temperate agriculture sustainability assessment beyond the individual farm level, co-led by Prof (Emeritus) Henrik Moller (NZSD) and Dr Jan Grenz (HALF).
- Choice modelling for selecting and building sustainability indicators in workshop 2.2 (Henrik Moller).
- Target Setting and Burden Sharing in Sustainability Assessment Beyond the Farm Level in workshop 2.4 (Jay Whitehead). Download here.

6-9 December 2015, Queenstown. Agrifood XXII Conference.
There was a strong presence of Dashboard researchers at this conference:
- John Reid and Tremane Barr presented two papers on the relationship between indigeneity, food and sustainability and generated significant discussion about the innovative technologies and pathways being designed by the Dashboard project.
- A group of Dashboard researchers (Marion Sautier, Katharine Legun, Chris Rosin, Hugh Campbell) presented in sessions that discussed the social dynamics of how alternative systems develop.
While the Agrifood group have heard many analyses by researchers in our various projects on the kiwifruit, apples, aquaculture, sheep, beef and dairy industries, what became clear at this conference was that the Dashboard is generating substantial new knowledge and developing a reputation for expertise in the social dynamics of New Zealand’s wine industry.

Peter Green, showcasing a tool for improving monitoring designs at the NZSA+ORSNZ conference.
The prototype tool, under development at Landcare Research, uses a simple but robust process for identifying cost-effective monitoring designs. Peter Green presented a poster at the NZ Statistical Association conference in November 2013 to highlight some of the features of the analytical package, simr, for use in R (a free software environment for statistical computing and graphics). For more information on the Joint Conference of the NZ Statistical Association and Operations Research Society of NZ, 24-27 November 2013, Hamilton, New Zealand, check here.
