  • Role model and mentoring role in the development of emerging researchers;
  • Elected/invited to roles in leadership, journal editing, government/industry boards or trusts.

(b)  Scientific contribution to an agricultural/horticultural industry or sector that has resulted in significant impact. Evidence may include:

  • Contribution has resulted in impact to Māori agriculture and/or horticulture;

  • Uniting sector stakeholders around a common purpose to achieve beneficial outcomes in New Zealand’s interests;
  • Obtaining and deploying resources to advance sector understanding of science and/or technology;
  • Industry bodies and/or sector end-users have shown investment or commitment to the nominee’s applied research programme over an extended period of time.
