What is a long-term insights briefing?
Under the Public Sector Act 2020, government agencies are required to create long-term insights briefings. These briefings explore long-term issues to help plan for the future of people in Aotearoa New Zealand. They are independent of ministers and not government policy. After being publicly consulted, each briefing is presented to a Parliamentary select committee for consideration.
Have your say
We want your feedback about our long-term insights briefing for the food sector. The briefing explores the potential future of our largest export sector and the exciting opportunities that could be pursued now to capture them by 2050.

Why are we interested in the future of consumer demand for food?
New Zealand is well-placed to take advantage of the changing global food market. We have a long history of innovation, high-quality food production, and a commitment to sustainability. To ensure that we remain competitive, we must focus on understanding changing global market dynamics, responding to consumer demands, and investing in technology, production processes, and other capabilities that ensure our food exports remain competitive, sustainable, and high-quality.
We must also strive to create more resilient food production systems that are better able to weather global shocks, while also considering our environmental and social responsibilities. With the right strategies and investments, New Zealand can remain a leader in global food production and exports, with a bright and prosperous future for our food industry and economy.
