Andrew Boot is a researcher with Taranaki medicinal cannabis business Greenfern.
Andrew Boot’s journey from high school student to medicinal cannabis researcher is the perfect example of the power of science and technology fairs, co-manager of the Witt Taranaki Science & Technology Fair Adriane Besse says. In 2016, Boot who was studying at New Plymouth Boys’ High School, developed a project for the annual fair about nitrate leaching and how different soil types affect the amount of nitrate from fertilisers running off into our waterways. His good work was rewarded with a $1000 scholarship funded by Dow AgroSciences and led to him studying agricultural science at Massey University, despite previous plans to study veterinary science, Besse said.

As part of its ambition to make healthy and sustainable diets easy for everyone, the Health from IGD team has joined forces with leading retailers and manufacturers, and researchers at the University of Leeds, to trial a series of interventions to see what drives long-term behavioural change.
Last summer, IGD convened a healthy and sustainable diets project group to collaboratively identify and test strategies that could encourage people to make healthier, more sustainable food and drink choices. Members of the project group have already begun to trial some of those strategies in real-life settings, in a set of research interventions being rigorously designed and implemented by IGD’s chosen research partner, the University of Leeds, through its Leeds Institute for Data Analytics (LIDA) and Consumer Data Research Centre.
