Biosecurity 2025

Biosecurity 2025 is a partnership between individuals, iwi, hapū, non-government organisations, industries, businesses, community groups, and central, regional and local government. It provides a common direction for the collective efforts of all participants in the biosecurity system and takes a future-focused look at how to strengthen the biosecurity system in the face of increasing pressures, including the changing scale and complexity of global trade and travel, and climate change.

The work underway is vital in shaping the long-term outlook of biosecurity in New Zealand and in driving New Zealand’s biosecurity system over the next decade. 

Ko Tātou This is Us is an independent biosecurity brand that belongs to the biosecurity community. The brand has been developed as part of the Biosecurity 2025 programme. It is supported by Biosecurity New Zealand, a business unit of the Ministry for Primary Industries, and the wider biosecurity community. 

One of the main themes for Biosecurity 2025 is to build a biosecurity team of 4.7 million - all New Zealanders. We are creating a movement that connects and aligns all the actions and activities by individuals, businesses, iwi/hapū and communities across the biosecurity system and encourages further action. The movement shows all New Zealanders, both individuals and businesses, that they are essential in helping strengthen our biosecurity system and every small action towards better biosecurity is important.
