Consumers have a right to know what's in their food, where it comes from and how it has been produced.
Good food is the basis of good health. Healthy eating needs to be promoted in the education system and healthy food should be accessible and affordable.
Food is one of the most important things in our lives. Many New Zealanders are passionate about the food they eat and how it is produced and traded. The Green Party supports buying local and supporting New Zealand growers and producers.
The Green Party wants our food to be safe, healthy, affordable, and ethically and environmentally produced and traded.
