DATA SOURCE: Statistics New Zealand, Agriculture Production Survey (APS)
Adapted by Ministry for the Environment and Statistics New Zealand to provide for environmental reporting transparency
Dataset used to develop the "Irrigated land" indicator [available at https://www.stats.govt.nz/indicators/irrigated-land]
​
This indicator measures the total irrigated agricultural land area across New Zealand for 2002, 2017 and 2019. We report on total irrigated land area on farms earnings over $60,000 a year by region and dominant farm type. In 2017 and 2019 we also report on total irrigated land by land use and irrigation system.
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.
