The Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI), is the government organisation responsible for
New Zealand’s Food Safety System. The New Zealand Food Safety System extends from
‘farm to fork’, allowing consumers in New Zealand and around the world to buy and consume our products with confidence that they are safe and suitable.
The Campylobacter Risk Management Strategy 2017-2020 sets out MPI’s goal, approach and objectives.
The National Fisheries Plan for Deepwater and Middle-depth Fisheries (the National Deepwater Plan) sets the objectives to guide the management of deepwater and middle-depth fisheries (deepwater fisheries) within the New Zealand Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). It also describes the performance monitoring regime which will be used to assess if the prescribed objectives have been achieved.
Animals are sentient – they can feel pain and distress – and as a humane society we have responsibilities to ensure our animals’ needs are met. Animals play an important role in many aspects of New Zealand life, and New Zealanders have high expectations of our animal welfare system.
This Science Strategy provides guidance on how MPI access, commission, use, interpret and disseminate science across the range of our activities. It includes a description of what our Science System entails. In addition, this strategy is important for our external stakeholders in Government, industry, the science community and international partners. It will help to provide national and international visibility for the integrity of our processes and credibility of our policies.
The Cadmium Management Strategy was developed by the Cadmium Working Group (CWG), a group established in 2006 of representatives from industry, food safety, environment, regional councils and local communities to assess any potential risks of cadmium in New Zealand’s agricultural and food systems. This management strategy outlines a combination of governance, research, monitoring and management activity for food, soils and fertiliser.
