How the SLM Hill Country Erosion Fund relates to other programmes
MAF and other government agencies are responsible for developing and delivering a number of programmes and funds with objectives that complement the SLM Hill Country Erosion Fund.
The SLM Hill Country Erosion Fund will work alongside these other programmes to ensure that duplication is avoided and, wherever possible, outcomes enhanced.
Programmes that share common elements with the SLM Hill Country Erosion Fund include:
- Sustainable Farming Fund (Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry);
- Sustainable Management Fund (Ministry for the Environment);
- NZ Landcare Trust (Ministry for the Environment);
- The On-farm Adverse Events Policy (Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry);
- The Afforestation Grant Scheme and other Sustainable Land Management and Climate Change initiatives (Ministry for the Environment and Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry);
- The Permanent Forest Sinks Initiative (Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry);
- East Coast Forestry Project (Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry);
- Sustainable Water Programme of Action (Ministry for the Environment and Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry);
- Flood Risk Management Review (Ministry for the Environment);
- Envirolink (Foundation for Research, Science and Technology);
- Nga Whenua Rahui (Department of Conservation);
- Queen Elizabeth II Trust.
Common elements of these programmes are protection of the environment, the landscape and communities. Each seeks to achieve this protection without sacrificing the other objectives of sustainable land management: economic viability and long-term social wellbeing.
