Lincoln University is New Zealand’s specialist land-based university and for more than 139 years, Lincoln has focused on improving New Zealand’s land-based knowledge, wealth and productivity.
Founded in 1878 as a School of Agriculture, Lincoln is New Zealand’s third oldest university. The institution was linked to Canterbury College, welcoming its first intake of students in 1880. I...n 1896, with agriculture now well established as the mainstay of New Zealand’s exports, the School of Agriculture separated from Canterbury College and became Canterbury Agricultural College, with its own governing body and the ability to award degrees through the University of New Zealand.
In 1961, the University was officially renamed Lincoln College, becoming a constituent college of the University of Canterbury. In 1990, Lincoln University formally separated from the University of Canterbury and became the self-governing national university that it is today.
On 1 January 2011, Telford Rural Polytechnic was incorporated into the University as what is now called Lincoln-Telford Division. For more information about Lincoln"s history, visit our Living Heritage - Tikaka Tōku Iho website, which contains an online history of the people, events, and community since the founding of the institution.
It is predicted that by 2050 the world’s population will reach 9.2 billion people: this will create challenges that need solutions. As the population grows, food supply and production will become key. So will sustaining the environment for future generations. As these two, potentially conflicting concepts become increasingly pressing – we will also want to be living well on our planet.
Lincoln University is a uniquely and deliberately specialised university finding solutions for these challenges. The University has a mission to help: feed the world, protect the future, and live well. To achieve this mission, Lincoln is positioned to work alongside industry, the community, and people from around the globe. The University’s qualifications range from certificate level through to PhD - and our teaching and research covers all activity associated with the land-based sectors to meet the needs of not only New Zealand but also the world. Lincoln students come from all over New Zealand and from roughly 60 countries around the world. Once studies are completed, Lincoln graduates can be found around the globe making a difference.
We recognise that healthy ecosystems and environments are necessary to the survival of humans and other organisms and that the economy is a subsystem of society within the bio-physical environment. There are limits within which human economies and societies must operate in order to function in a sustainable way. These limits are the constraints of the planet"s natural systems.
Lincoln University (together with the University of Canterbury and Ara Institute of Canterbury) has acknowledged that environmental sustainability must occur within tertiary operations but also in research, education and extension activities.
The Sustainability Advisory Group for our Environment (SAGE) is responsible for ensuring that the University treads lightly on the earth. The 2017 Environmental Sustainability Policy outlines Lincoln"s commitment to act as an international leader (and the leading organisation in New Zealand) in promoting and achieving ecologically, socially and economically sustainable development. This commitment is aligned with our strategic direction and will be implemented by the entire University community, across all aspects of our activities: research, curricula, extension, building design, facilities management and operational practices, including all university properties and farms.
In addition to SAGE, the student-run Lincoln Environmental Organisation (LEO) plays an important role in facilitating sustainability, with strong support from the Lincoln University Students" Association. Significant efforts have been made in energy conservation, water management and resource recovery.
We have a proud history as pioneers in sustainable activities. LEO was established in 1990 and three years later, the University Council adopted an Environmental Charter. This led to the publication of an Environmental Policy in 1993 (a first among New Zealand tertiary establishments). In 1999, the University agreed to establish an Environmental Task Force with the aim of implementing the Environmental Policy. Everyone on campus can and should help with environmental sustainability, where even simple actions such as switching off unnecessary lights, only printing essential documents, using public transport or cycling to campus can make a real difference.
Our world needs people with the vision to look beyond today. We face challenges. Climate change, a loss of biodiversity, rapid population growth. They are issues with no easy solutions, and they will affect future generations. Can you see tomorrow?
