Food Supply

Protect Food Supply

Protect & Prosper New Zealand believes food security is essential for every family, every community and the long-term independence of our country.

New Zealand food supply and farming

Our Commitment to Food Security

A strong country must be able to feed its people. PPNZ supports practical policies that protect productive land, support growers and farmers, and ensure New Zealanders have access to reliable, affordable and locally produced food.

Protect Productive Land

Established market gardening and food-growing land should be protected from unnecessary residential development through sensible council planning rules.

Strengthen Local Food Production

New Zealand should support local farmers, growers and food producers so our food supply remains strong, affordable and resilient.

Review Harmful Regulations

Any legislation or regulation that may negatively impact the nation’s food supply should be carefully reviewed to protect New Zealand households.

Food Security for Families

Policies must focus on keeping essential food available and affordable, especially for families facing cost-of-living pressure.

Policy Actions

  1. Review and repeal any climate-related legislation or regulation that may place New Zealand’s food supply at risk.
  2. Protect established market gardening and highly productive food-growing land from unnecessary residential development through council planning protections.
  3. Support farmers, growers and food producers with practical policies that improve productivity and reduce unnecessary compliance pressure.
  4. Encourage local food production to reduce dependence on overseas supply chains and strengthen national resilience.
  5. Prioritise affordable food access for New Zealand families by protecting supply, supporting production and reducing avoidable cost pressures.

Food Supply is National Security

Food security is not only an economic issue — it is a national wellbeing issue. Protecting productive land, supporting growers and keeping food affordable must be a long-term priority for New Zealand.
