DATA SOURCE: Statistics New Zealand Agricultural Production Survey (APS)
Adapted by Ministry for the Environment and Statistics New Zealand to provide for environmental reporting transparency
Dataset used to develop the "Agricultural and horticultural land use" indicator (available at https://www.stats.govt.nz/indicators/agricultural-and-horticultural-land-use)
​
This indicator reports on the use of land for primary production purposes, specifically agricultural land uses, such as beef and sheep farming and dairying, horticultural land uses, such as fruit and berry, and vegetable growing, and other land uses, such as forestry. We do this for the period 2002 to 2019.
More information on this dataset and how it relates to our environmental reporting indicators and topics can be found in the attached data quality pdf.
