Food is one of the most important things in our lives, and yet we often have no idea what we are eating, where it has come from or what it will do to us.
The Green Party wants our food to be safe to eat, properly labelled and free of GE, antibiotics and pesticides.
New Zealand imports billions of dollars of food every year. Much of it is unlabelled as to its country of origin. We consider New Zealanders have a right to know where their food comes from. Buying local food helps supports local growers and suppliers; helps keep New Zealanders in jobs and supports our economy. We support mandatory country of origin labelling of food, so that consumers can work out where their food comes from and choose locally produced food.
