Organics Aotearoa New Zealand (OANZ) spent two days in Wellington last week meeting political parties and key stakeholders to press the case for a National Organic Policy and dedicated investment. The message coming back to members is blunt: not one party currently has a specific policy for growing organics in New Zealand. Manifesto Presented Ahead of November ElectionThe delegation saw OANZ representatives present the Organic Election Manifesto and its five organic priorities directly to MPs and officials ahead of the November election. "Political parties and Ministers have been briefed that the organic sector is organised and means business," Hoare says. Food Security a Recurring ThemeLawson says domestic food supply and security came up repeatedly in discussions with political parties.
