New Zealand’s reputation as a quality food producer is growing.
Over the next 50 years farmers around the world will need to produce more food than has been grown over the past 10,000 years.
Fertiliser helps farmers produce food efficiently by replenishing the soil. But fertiliser needs to be used responsibly.
The Fertiliser Association invests in research and tools to ensure farm profitability while minimising nutrient losses to the environment.
The Fertiliser Association of New Zealand promotes and encourages responsible and scientifically-based nutrient management.

The primary sector has a key role to play in helping achieve global reductions in greenhouse gas emissions while maintaining food security. This requires low-emission production systems, with increased efficiencies and the use of new mitigation technologies.
Investment in the development and adoption of new technologies requires a clear regulatory pathway to market. We will need to work internationally with trading nations and also locally with existing qualified networks within the agricultural community for the extension and adoption of new mitigations.
