New Zealand has a global reputation for farm produce – not just for what we grow on the land, but for what we farm in our seas as well.
This reputation is based on New Zealand’s high standards of food quality and safety, and environmental management.
The government’s commitment to sustainability means our aquaculture planning processes are supported by sound information. These processes also closely involve communities in decision making.
