Education and Applied Research Division Department of BusinessThe Case StudySourced from:Callaghan Innovation, 2018Wakatū IncorporationWakatū is a Māori family-owned business based in Te Tau Ihu (the top of the South Island). A business of land and sea, Wakatū has three parts: Manaaki (people and culture), Whenua (land and water space) and Kono (an award-winning food and drinks producer and exporter).IntroductionWakatū is a Māori family-owned business based in Te Tau Ihu (the top of the South Island). A business of land and sea, Wakatū has three parts: Manaaki (people and culture), Whenua (land and water space) and Kono (an award-winning food and drinks producer and exporter).Through the passage of time, the world has challenged them to innovate — to become scientists, researchers, winemakers, branders, marketers, viticulturists and leaders.Guided by TePaeTawhiti, the business’s long-term intergenerational vision, and deeply held values of rangatiratanga, manaakitanga, whanaungatanga and kaitiakitanga, Wakatū manages its assets in a way that will build on its legacy for the generations to come.As one of the largest private land owners in Te Tau Ihu, the Whenua division of Wakatū manages a diverse portfolio — from vineyards, orchards and grazing land to residential properties, large retail developments and office buildings. With a strong heritage as gardeners, fishers and providores, Wakatū, under its Kono brand, is an artisan producer andexporter of award-winning wine, cider, seafood, pipfruit, hops and natural fruit bars.What’s different about Wakatū?What makes Wakatū different is its deep connection and commitment to whenua, moana and tangata (land, sea and people), as well as its products. “Through the passage of time, the world has challenged us to innovate — to become scientists, researchers, winemakers, branders, marketers, viticulturists and leaders,” says Chief Executive Kerensa Johnston. “We’ve taken up that challenge without hesitation.”Wakatū has also made a concerted effort to focus on succession planning, with a robust programme of scholarships, skills training, cultural inductions and governance experience. These programmes are now paying dividends, with people who have been through them working within the business at every level. Its innovation strategy aims to commercialise high-value food and beverage applications to address global nutrition, health and well-being challenges. Wakatūalso focuses on leveraging science and technology applications in two programmes: high-value add, and land and water wellness.Miriana Stephens, a member of the board and Executive Director of Innovation, says Wakatū’s land and water wellness programmes need to be leading edge. “This means not only do we know the state of our lands, but that our business practices will contribute to land,water and ecosystem well-being. This is all about being good kaitiaki (custodians).”A new project involves collecting data from vineyards and orchards, and combining it with smart technology to help operational teams make informed decisions, take care of the land, and maximise potential and value. For example, a sensory network in the vineyards captures real-time data, such as soil moisture levels, and combines it with other relevant datasets, like climate information. This data is then centralised and analysed by an on-farm platform, e-Whenua.Miriana says this means specific areas of blocks can be targeted instead of, for example, watering an entire block. “This is smart use of resources, and is good for both the environment and our bottom line, and in line with our values.”tmpz74ur9wc2275845_2068967195_733401.docx17/06/21Page 4© Ara Institute of Canterbury
