Construction sector performance measurement #1: New Zealand agriculture sector (August 2020)

Agriculture makes a critical contribution to the New Zealand economy. It has grown, adapted and innovated in response to changes in markets, technology and government policy over many decades. As outlined in this case study, performance management and measurement have been part of this change, historically driven by agricultural science with a strong focus on maximising productivity and product quality, with a more recent focus on other considerations, such as environmental and social impacts. This case study provides the context of the agriculture sector and the role measurement plays.
