The Northland Regional Council backed by the central government are exploring the viability for water storage in the Kaipara and Far North districts. Northland landowners are being urged to get on board water storage projects which could boost the region’s access to the precious resource.
Dr Bruce Campbell says: “When thinking of where the future of food demand is going to be, and what consumers are wanting, there’s a real trend towards plant based food. It will need a more secure and stable water supply to produce that food. This project is about creating a more stable water supply and if so what other land uses might be possible. I believe that there’s some big opportunities for Māori in the horticulture industry creating some unique food offerings.”
