Abstract
With the choice of forward looking theme for this year's conference, we have embarked on providing a vision for the New Zealand agricultural sector in the 21st Century. We decided to address this theme by focusing on four sub themes: the advent of the first MMP based government to be elected in October this year and the consequences; major and minor land use changes already taking place and likely to continue within and out of the sector; the implementation phase of the last GATT/WTO agreement underway with its current and future trade implications; and the potential ramifications for property rights and land use of those Waitangi Treaty land claims highlighted in the media and others.
