ABOUT
A tribute to the hard-working and entrepreneurial men and women involved in the industry that keeps their nation economically afloat.
It is an account of the lives of intrepid people who have taken risks, sometimes failed but more often have survived and made this country richer. It tells the story of pre-European times when Polynesians first arrived with tropical plants and had to adapt their lives quickly to a temperate climate.
It describes the golden age of Maori farming, in the 1840s and 1850s, when tribes grew thousands of acres of grains, ground flour in their own mills, fed new settlers and exported grains, fruit and vegetables in their own vessels.
Illustrated throughout with monochrome and colour images.
