- W2605114323 abstract "This article addresses the question of whether New Zealand's law and policy is adequate to deal with the problem of cadmium in our soil, food and water which occurs as a result of phosphate fertiliser use on production land. It finds that the Resource Management Act 1991 was drafted with the foresight to manage these issues making provision for ministers and local government to more strongly regulate contaminants, yet they are not consistently or adequately doing so. There is much promise in an ambitious National Cadmium Management Strategy launched in 2011, which is designed to provide a national approach for managing cadmium in New Zealand agriculture. Until this produces tangible results, we remain in the situation where shortfalls in the contaminated land regime and food safety result in inconsistent national regulation which has little or no scrutiny or enforcement. The point at which legal responses are triggered is only once the damage is done; the equivalent of the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff. There are three main significant issues flowing from cadmium soil contamination. Firstly, accumulating cadmium in soils until it reaches the soil guideline for its intended use results in the loss of versatile soil capacity. Secondly, cadmium levels in food are regulated and non-compliance with the food standards because of soil contamination can also lead to loss of this soil capacity. Thirdly, soil contamination has the potential to result in international market restrictions for our produce and harm the reputation we strongly trade and rely upon. The issues are complex and we require greater understanding of the processes and pathways in which cadmium acts in our bodies, our food, our plants, our soils and waterways. This article finds that alongside the voluntary initiatives promoted under the national strategy there would be benefits from regulation to ensure appropriate testing to identify land with higher cadmium levels, and the cadmium status of higher-risk food strains, as well as stipulating new lower maximum levels of cadmium in fertiliser. The management of these factors is seen as critical to achieving sustainable long-term farming in New Zealand." @default.
