Scientists Who Deliver World Class Results
Our multidisciplinary team develops practical solutions for today’s problems and tomorrow’s possibilities.
Delivering Practical Solutions
Lincoln Agritech tackles the most pressing environmental and primary industry challenges with proven, research-backed innovation.
We combine 60+ years of research and technological expertise with on the ground testing to deliver tools and technologies that work in real conditions.
Our capabilities include production lines, smart sensors, and decision-making tools – tailored for agriculture, horticulture, viticulture, arable, and forestry sectors.
Whether it’s river management, nitrate challenges, or turning waste into high-value products, we work alongside communities and industry to co-develop solutions. Our approach blends science with mātauranga Māori to deliver real-world impact across freshwater systems, farms, and primary industries.
Water and Bio-Resources
Waiora – Water Security Solutions
We tackle the water challenges that matter most to New Zealand’s future.
Our solutions give farmers, urban land users, councils and communities the tools to make better decisions about:
- Allocating water use efficiently
- Improving water quality
- Designing and managing irrigation systems
- Harnessing data-driven insights for smarter water management.
Bio-Resources that Unlock Value
We turn natural and agricultural by-products into sustainable tools and products for growers and processors – think advanced fertilisers, bio-based materials, textiles, and natural pigments.
Through innovation in bio-resources, we help you:
- Develop premium bio-inspired products
- Reduce on-farm greenhouse gas emissions
- Use data-driven tools for smarter production
- Manage farm inputs more effectively.
