According to data from Stats NZ, there are about 50,000 farms in New Zealand covering about 13.6m hectares. These numbers are also set to decrease further, as the number of farms and land used for farming goes down every year.  Jamie Mackay, host of The Country, explained that this Stats NZ data is concerning, as food and fibre production are prominent sources of export revenue, and farm environments provide jobs for a significant percentage of New Zealand.
