New Zealand imposes limits on converting farmland to forestry to protect food production and aid emissions trading.

New Zealand has announced new rules to limit converting farmland to forestry to protect food production and provide certainty for the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS). Key measures include a moratorium on forestry registrations on actively farmed land, an annual cap of 15,000 hectares for forestry on less productive land, and allowing up to 25% of a farm to be planted for the ETS. The legislation is set to be introduced in 2025 and take effect in October 2025.
