Water strategy (under review)

Water is a taonga, a treasure. We need to look after it and manage it better.

Our industry is working on improving orchard water management practices. We developed a strategy in 2019. The strategy details our aspiration for all our growers to be able to:

  1. Demonstrate alignment of nutrient inputs and losses to good practice limits.
  2. Use monitoring technology to actively manage and demonstrate efficient use of water.
  3. Access tools and knowledge to protect and foster healthy, fertile soils.
