New Zealand Loyal Farming and Agriculture Policy
Farming has been the backbone of New Zealand’s economy, driving growth and recovery. Despite this, farmers are often unfairly vilified. Our policy recognizes the vital role farmers play and seeks to unleash their full potential.
Core Principles
1. Recognition of Farming’s Economic Importance: Farming is a cornerstone of New Zealand’s economy, and its growth and prosperity are essential to the nation’s well-being.
2. Rejection of Unfair Vilification: Farmers are responsible stewards of the land, and the notion that they are reckless environmental destroyers is rejected.
3. Termination of Excessive Regulations: Overregulation has stifled farming growth; most of these regulations will be terminated to allow farmers to thrive.
Protection of Farmers’ Rights
1. Private Property Rights: Farmers’ private property rights will be protected under New Zealand Loyal policies.
2. Self-Defence Rights: Farmers have the right to self-defence, and this will be upheld and protected in accordance with the NZ Loyal Self-Defence Policy.

4. Hemp Farming Development: Large-scale hemp farming will be developed and supported in New Zealand, recognizing its potential for sustainable and versatile products.
Climate Change Narrative Rejection
1. Rejection of Climate Change Narratives: The notion that farmers are significant contributors to climate change is rejected; farmers are part of the solution, not the problem.
