Private land-use decisions in New Zealand are crucial for environmental and social outcomes. A study analyzed data from New Zealand landowners to understand how land use choices are influenced by factors like land attributes, market access costs, and land tenure (Māori freehold title vs. general freehold title). The research found that land tenure type affects landowners' willingness to supply land for different uses like dairying, sheep or beef farming, plantation forestry, and scrub. This suggests that the type of land tenure system in New Zealand can impact the environmental implications of land use decisions.
