B+LNZ makes submissions to central and local government when proposed policy changes significantly impact our farmers and/or the sector.
While our submissions are informed by farmer engagement, we encourage farmers to write their own submissions to complement our advocacy. It’s important that decision-makers hear your real-world examples of potential impacts on farm and in your communities.
This practical guide helps farmers write effective submissions on proposed policies and regulations, providing step-by-step advice, tips, and a simple framework for sharing real-world farming experiences with decision-makers.
