Defining and meeting social values
Society has confidence in New Zealand’s primary production systems because they meet the social, environmental, cultural, Māori and economic requirements of New Zealanders and their markets, including maintenance and improvement of their land and water quality.

Optimising primary sector supply chains
Technical barriers, and other barriers are identified and overcome (if science can address these), and product performance requirements are met to optimise value to New Zealand’s primary producers and processors, and consumers.

Land and water management
The functions and environmental limits of land and water systems are sufficiently understood and defined within societal, cultural, Māori and economic values, rights and interests and incorporated into sustainable production systems.

Adaptable, responsive and resilient land-based primary production systems
Sustainable productive capacity and profitability are ensured, by developing and adopting tools, technologies and systems that support a flexible and responsive primary industry.
