Biosecurity 2025

Biosecurity 2025 is about reviewing and future-proofing New Zealand's biosecurity system. The aim is to ensure that our already strong biosecurity system continues to protect New Zealand against pests and diseases.

Keeping the biosecurity system resilient

The purpose of Biosecurity 2025 is to develop a direction statement that will make sure New Zealand's biosecurity system:

guides all participants
remains effective and resilient in the face of changing risks and pressures
can take advantage of new opportunities.
