Primary production is influenced and impacted by many external factors, or drivers. A full stocktake of these international and domestic drivers and their interactions is helpful to understand their relative importance to the primary sector.

The Matrix of Drivers was funded by the Our Land and Water National Science Challenge to develop an overivew of all of the known drivers and issues that have the potential to affect agricultural land and water use in New Zealand. This work was initially completed in 2016, with subsequent updates completed in 2018, 2020, 2022, and 2023. The Matrix of Drivers uses over 1,500 unique sources of information of academic, industry, regulatory and legislative origin. This is built into a priorities matrix that quantifies the importance of these drivers and represents the level of interest or concern of consumers. It provides market intelligence and foresight into consumer trends and international agreements, and can be used to assess the magnitude of drivers across sectors.

This work wasextended through the Our Land and Water National Science Challenge Impact Extension fund to be developed into an online tool, with a subsequent update with new survey data. This is available free-of-change within the AERU Data Portal (link below).
