Developed by AsureQuality Ltd., AgriBase is a digital initiative having a database to spatially map almost every farm in the New Zealand. Providing each with its own traceable ID, AgriBase holds information on approximately 144,500 live (current) New Zealand rural properties related to livestock farming, arable cropping, horticulture, viticulture, or forestry, lifestyle blocks and conservation estate. It has key contact details for the farm including farm type, size, animal numbers by stock class, planted areas for different orchard or crop types (including forestry), and the spatial coordinates of the farm usable within a geographic information system (GIS). AgriBase is used to 1) Support initiatives that enhance New Zealand’s agricultural productivity and ability to trade 2) Support rural responses to disease, pests, and other emergencies and 3) Produce agricultural statistics and to assist fundraising by rescue services. Both government and industry sector groups use AgriBase as a master index for all rural land holdings involved in some form of primary production.
