Base NZFAP and NZFAP+ (Silver & Gold) farm plans — the full built report, maps and a tailored environmental plan, done with you.
We’re farmers first and foremost — so we know a farm plan is only worth anything if it works on the ground. NZFAP+ sits on top of base NZFAP and adds the People, Environment and Biosecurity side, all delivered through an audited Farm Environment Plan at Silver or Gold. We handle the lot.
You get both required maps drawn at farm scale, a per-land-unit risk assessment, and a SMART action plan — built into one report that’s ready for your QCONZ audit and genuinely useful the other 1,094 days of the three-year cycle.
Wondering what certification could pay? Put your stock numbers into the premium calculator and see the maths, straight up.
Farmers face real pressure meeting council and assurance requirements while keeping the farm running. We help you navigate freshwater, NZFAP+ and land-management challenges with practical mapping and planning.
NZFAP+ sits on top of base NZFAP and adds People, Environment and Biosecurity — all delivered through an audited Farm Environment Plan. Knowing what Silver and Gold actually ask for is half the battle.
Meeting a certification or audit date while you're still running the farm is the hard part. We do the technical work so you can keep farming.
NZFAP+ wants a Farm & Infrastructure map and a Natural Resources map, drawn to a standard that stands up at audit. That's specialist mapping most farmers don't have the gear for.
Everything you need for farm-scale mapping, certified farm plans, and regulatory compliance across New Zealand.
FARM AUDIT & PLANNING
We get on farm to understand your land, your stock and your current practices, and work out exactly what base NZFAP and the NZFAP+ tier you're after will require.
THE TWO REQUIRED MAPS
We produce the Farm & Infrastructure map and the Natural Resources map at farm scale — soil, slope, waterways, critical source areas and the on-farm infrastructure an auditor expects to see.
NZFAP+ BUILT REPORT
The whole report built and ready: the maps, a per-land-unit risk assessment and a SMART action plan, written as a Farm Environment Plan you'd actually pick up and use.
A structured, field-verified process that delivers accurate farm-scale maps and audit-ready plans with minimal disruption to your farming operation.
We talk through your farm, your current practices, and whether you're after base NZFAP, NZFAP+ Silver or Gold.
We come out, assess the farm, gather the data and take whatever measurements the maps and plan need.
We produce both required maps and build the full NZFAP+ report and Farm Environment Plan around them.
We back you through certification with your auditor (QCONZ runs the NZFAP+ audit) and the 3-yearly cycle that follows.
Practical reading on farm plans (nzfap+) — written for farmers, not consultants
On our clients' kill sheets certification is worth 20c/kg carcass weight — 10c for NZFAP, 10c for NZFAP+. The maths, and the caveats that actually matter.
We sell farm plans, so you'd expect us to say every farm needs one. They don't. The NZ farms where NZFAP+ certification doesn't pay — told straight.
When a rule fixes on a single environmental number, the pressure doesn't vanish — it moves. Two NZ examples, and why reading land as a system wins.
Highly Productive Land (HPL) shapes what you can do with your best country — and the rules changed in January 2026. The plain-English version for NZ farmers.
A farm plan is only as good as the map under it. Why a field-verified, farm-scale Land Use Capability (LUC) base beats the minimum NZFAP+ asks for.
A good farm map is one of the quietest, hardest-working tools on a NZ farm: shared understanding, fewer mix-ups, and a picture you can plan and certify from.
NZ's red-meat sustainability standard minus the jargon: what NZFAP and NZFAP+ are, what Silver and Gold mean, and the two maps the audit really cares about.
A 1:50,000 soil map can be forty metres out. Why mapping your NZ farm at the scale your decisions happen pays off — and which layers are truly farm-scale.
Field-verified LUC and soil mapping, an NZFAP+ farm plan built on that foundation, and the whiteboard map and tear-off pads that put it to work every day.
The audit-ready bundle — a full NZFAP+ farm plan for the auditor, a health and safety hazard board on the wall for the team, contractors and visitors, and a write-on paddock map for the day-to-day.

We work to New Zealand's national farm assurance standards and alongside regional councils and industry bodies.
