Commentary on Sections Part 3 - Matters Relating to Agriculture and Agricultural Products Chapter 1 - Collection and sharing of data Section 28 - Meaning of “relevant activity”
173.Section 28 defines a “relevant activity”: the effect is that an activity listed in section 51(1) (which defines “agriculture”) is a “relevant activity”, as is an “ancillary activity”. “Ancillary activity” is defined in section 52.
174.The result of these definitions, taken with section 27, is that a requirement to provide information can potentially be imposed under section 27 in respect of, for example, an activity related to ornamental horticulture, or an activity relating to the growing of crops for energy.
