What is a freshwater farm plan?

A freshwater farm plan identifies practical on-farm actions that are aimed at helping improve waterways and overall water quality. The current Govt is reviewing requirements for what farms need to complete a plan, including farming activities across pastoral, arable, horticulture, and thresholds for size. Indications are that the revised regulations will be in place late 2025 and rollout through teh various regions of New Zealand starting early 2026. Find out more here.
