The Productive and Sustainable Land Use (PSLU) package promotes farm land-use practices that deliver more value and improved environmental outcomes.
This will help New Zealand to transition to a more sustainable, low emissions future.
PSLU helps ensure:
- Farmers and other land users can meet environmental standards and remain prosperous
- Every farmer has a way to achieve these goals, including changing land use if necessary
- Any impact of changing land use on land users, their families, and communities is managed in a just and sustainable way
There are six parts to the package:
- Extension Services
Providing on-the-ground support to 2,200 farmers over four years to improve their environmental and economic sustainability and
wellbeing.
- Primary Industry Advisors
Support the development of a training and qualification framework for professional farm advisors so that farmers and growers can access the
advice they can trust and which meets their needs.
- Māori Agribusiness
Support Māori landowners and agri-businesses to realise greater value from their land in a way that works for them.
- Monitoring and Benchmarking
Improving on-farm emissions data and monitoring, and increasing the number of primary sectors covered.
- Overseer
Improve the accuracy of Overseer and the range of farm systems it can model, so that it can be used more effectively.
- Market Access and Export Systems
Protecting high value food exports, and updating New Zealand’s official assurance systems.
