which one is better?

New Zealand pastures or New Zealand's pastures


thank u in advance:)
 
Thank you, I've got it))

Can you explain why? When I google for it, there are a lot of results with no possessive. Even more than with it.
 
New Zealand's pastures or the pastures of New Zealand.

It is a stylistic choice. To my ear, the first-mentioned noun has more emphasis.
