New Zealand Argiculture Despite the relative decline in both employment and output in agriculture, this sector remains hugely important to New Zealand, both in terms of image and of export trade. Agriculture is internationally competitive, partly because animals are largely grass fed, but also because New Zealand farmers are technologically innovative and sensitive to market opportunities and changes. Of particular imprtance is the emerging organics sector which includes Bio Dynamic farming and Permaculture which fill niche markets and offer susatainable alternatives to unhealthy and envionmentally damaging agribusiness practices.

Biodynamic Farming Association Biodynamics ("biological-dynamics") is a method of organic agriculture which can be applied to any farm or horticultural enterprise, by following a series of practical steps that emphasise building soil fertility, and are carefully tailored to the particular property.
