04/07 Livestock Production Gains from Improved Drinking Water: Literature Review 8 December 2004

This review summarises our current understanding of the impact of water quality on the productivity of livestock, with special reference to the situation as it may relate to New Zealand livestock farmers.

04/05 Review of Riparian Buffer Zone Effectiveness
September 2004

The purpose of this report is to review and summarise published research on the efficiency and management of riparian buffer zones (RBZ) with respect to the attenuation of sediment and nutrients, and biodiversity enhancement. While there have been numerous studies on the efficiency of RBZ with respect to sediment and nutrients, many of these studies have been small-scale and site-specific. Therefore, a review of these studies needs to consider an assessment of the catchment scale factors that influence the effectiveness of RBZ in attenuating catchment loads.

04/04 Kiwifruit Export Information Disclosure Handbook - 2nd Edition [ 66K PDF]
Ivan Rowe - May 2004

Handbook for Complying with the Information Disclosure requirements of the Kiwifruit Export Regulations 1999

04/02 Understanding the Costs and Risks of Conversion to Organic Kiwifruit and Apple Production Systems
10 March 2004

Widespread adoption of organic production methods for kiwifruit and apples would require some changes in infrastructure and if the effect of increased total organic production was to significantly reduce market premiums, financial viability would be impaired.

04/01 The Economic Value of Irrigation In New Zealand
2 June 2004

This paper was developed by MAF Policy Information and Regions Group staff to provide information on the socio-economic contribution irrigation currently makes to the New Zealand economy, and an estimate of the potential to add to economic growth.
