"The legislation will ensure farmers can carry out their lawful business activities without fear of vexatious nuisance claims, and will also protect them from trespass and harassment," Ms Cooke said.
"Farmers won't need to fear a nuisance claim for factors such as dust from trucks lawfully carting goods to and from a farm.
"Protection will also include a range of secondary primary production activities such as abattoirs.
"We cannot tolerate trespassers who put at risk the health and safety of our farmers, their families and their animals, as well as introducing new biosecurity hazards."
