NZ is pretty unique, there is quite a lot of farmable land which is protected wilderness. There's a specific trust setup to help landowners convert property, https://qeiinationaltrust.org.nz/

Imperfect, but definitely better than most!



> there is quite a lot of farmable land

This is not really true. ~80% of NZ's farmable agricultural land is in the south island. But ~60% of milk production is done in the north island.


And virtually none of it is arable. Pastoral at best, suitable for grazing at varying intensities ranging from light to hardly at all.
