The book delves into the evolution of agricultural economics and food policy in New Zealand, highlighting the pivotal role of farming exports in the economy. It discusses the shift from a colonial trade relationship with the UK to a focus on liberalizing agricultural trade. The influence of Federated Farmers on policy development is emphasized, particularly during the transition from heavy government subsidies post-World War II to a more self-sufficient model in the 1980s. The narrative also explores New Zealand's promotion of an eco-friendly image to bolster its export market.
