The objectives of FLRC are:
- To provide practical solutions to problems and issues in the primary production sectors of New Zealand.
- To provide mechanisms for information transfer between science, industry, policy and regulatory bodies concerned with primary production.
The FLRC actively promotes research on production and environmental issues associated with primary production systems and has strong links with industry and other science providers through research contracts and collaborative projects. Many projects include students who are studying toward postgraduate degrees.
The FLRC offers professional development shortcourses tailored to the needs of science, industry, policy and regulatory bodies concerned with primary production and is available to consult on a wide range of issues.
The FLRC hosts an annual workshop which is conducted on a topic of importance to the New Zealand land-based industries. Proceedings are published and comprise an extensive collection of research papers since 1987.
The FLRC offers a comprehensive analytical service for soil, plant, water (including effluent) and fertiliser materials.
