Land and Water Forum

The Land and Water Forum is a collaborative group in New Zealand made up of government agencies, environmental groups, industries, and community representatives. Its goal is to develop practical, evidence-based solutions for managing land and water resources sustainably. The forum facilitates discussion and consensus on balancing environmental health, economic development, and community needs. By working together, members aim to create policies and practices that protect freshwater ecosystems while supporting farming, industry, and urban development, ensuring long-term resource availability and environmental quality for all New Zealanders.
