We keep our own beef and sheep, but the government is committed to cutting numbers and eventually eliminating livestock completely. We have a thriving hen and duck population, plus a number of rare and endangered wild species. We don't advertise that too much, because that would bring down the 'greenies' to legislate us further.
We have to use RDF tags on all cattle and register them at birth. They must be health checked every 3 years. We are at this stage, allowed to kill and process our own animals, but not, of course, for sale.
Fish takes are very limited and quite severely policed. We do still have a few wild pigs on our land.
Natural medicines are next in our government's sights, so they will not be available for long. We have lots of growing ability.
No new builds are allowed to be connected to natural gas. Gas BBQs are to be banned in the next few years. No more imports of fossil-fuelled vehicles after three years; they are de-comissioning our ONLY refinery...need I go on?
We are off-grid and cook and heat water with gas, which could be difficult, especially since they will also ban wood-burners.
We use roof water for our only supply, and that is soon to require a license, a water quality plan and regular testing.
Our way of life is slowly being throttled out of existence.
You think correctly. This has been the case for several decades. a few of us have recognised it and tried to stand, but we are a pathetic minority. My main advice: STOP watching TV!

Wow! They are going nuts, but that is the agenda. That is really amazing.
Oh, and I forgot to mention the gun controls - Dictatorship 101 - and they are about to be tightened...
Yes, I think NZ is the testing ground for all of this stuff.
