Our A+ Farmers

The A+ Programme provides New Zealand marine and freshwater farmers with the practical tools to demonstrate transparency around their environmental performance.

We know our industry has a strong commitment to the environment and already operate to high sustainability standards. The A+ Programme makes those standards official and visible to everyone. 

A+ provides a practical guide through best practice operational procedures. It also recognises the value of innovation, ingenuity and individuality - qualities that, as a nation, we are known for and rightly proud of!
