The food and fibre sector is inseparable from the land, water and ecosystems that sustain it.

But as biodiversity declines, soils degrade, water stress intensifies and the climate shifts, the natural foundations of our food system are increasingly at risk.

Nature-positive food systems - those that regenerate ecosystems while producing food - offer a powerful path forward. They help unlock access to premium markets, support thriving rural communities and contribute to enduring prosperity for Aotearoa.
