Abstract
The Great Wellington Regional Council in New Zealand has created an innovative program called FOCUS . It uses SF to help farmers implement plans that improve water quality in catchments. The Council recognised that problem-centred approaches were less effective for complex systems that involve people and natural systems. They also saw that farm decision-making was an iterative process that could not presuppose a single right answer for every situation in a natural system.
