This address explores the importance for agricultural sustainability of different types of capital assets, especially knowledge capital, drawing on recent research in New Zealand that has aimed to expand the contribution of the primary sector to sustainable wellbeing. I begin with an overview of the theory on what constitutes sustainability and wellbeing, focusing on connections between wellbeing, capabilities and different types of capital stocks, and highlighting the importance of knowledge capital for wellbeing. Recent trends in New Zealand and United Kingdom agriculture provide the applied context for analysis of some key knowledge issues facing agriculture, framed by the capability theory of the firm following David Teece. The paper finishes with a brief conclusion on the implications for the UK.

可持续农业-补贴之外的生活：新西兰的经验教训

本演讲利用新西兰最近的一项旨在扩大第一产业对可持续福祉的贡献的研究，探讨了不同类型的资本资产（尤其是知识资本）对农业可持续性的重要性。首先，我将对构成可持续性和福祉的理论进行概述，重点是福祉，能力和不同类型的资本存量之间的联系，并着重强调知识资本对福祉的重要性。新西兰和英国农业的最新趋势为分析农业面临的一些关键知识问题提供了应用背景，其依据是大卫·泰斯之后的企业能力理论。本文最后简要介绍了对英国的影响。
