Sustainability

Committed to sustainable land stewardship for a better tomorrow

Enhancing biodiversity

Cultivating a thriving and biodiverse environment is of the highest priority. We do this by protecting wetlands and fencing off native bush – promoting natural habitats where wildlife and native species can flourish. Our flocks are protected from the elements with robust shelter. The soil on our farms also undergoes regular testing, to ensure it maintains the ultimate health and the optimal nutrition for Lumina’s precise diet of grass and chicory herb forage.

Protecting our waterways

We aim to ensure that any water that leaves our Lumina farms does so in better condition than when it arrived. All of our farmers have water testing programmes to help us enhance the quality of our water.

Caring for our people

At Lumina, our care extends to each and every person who plays a role in creating the world’s best lamb. We continuously learn from and lean upon one another. Working closely with our team to solve challenges, create connections, and look after each other’s wellbeing. We have strong links and responsibilities to our rural communities.

Carefully Selected Farmers

Each of the farmers who raise our Lumina lambs have been chosen to do so through careful selection. Throughout New Zealand, we have 74 Lumina farms, entrusted to raise our lambs to exacting standards.

The Sustainability of our Animals

Lumina’s expert Match Makers have crafted a unique breed of sheep, primed for survivability in the hill and high country of New Zealand. Hardy and resilient, our world-class breed is regularly examined to ensure the health and sustainability of our flock.
