Aotearoa, being an island nation, has a unique environment that is well worth protecting. Our Biosecurity team is dedicated to supporting our partners in protecting this special place, the way we live, our culture, and what we do.
With international trade increasing in volume, the chance of new pests and diseases arriving in New Zealand is also increasing.
It is, therefore more important than ever to have a strong biosecurity system as some pests and diseases could have a devastating impact on our production systems, our environment, or even on our way of life.
