Behind the Story: Where NZ's food comes from... and where it goes

Spinoff staff writer Shanti Mathias loves to go deep on topics, in
a way few people would ever consider. This week, we published her
data work on food imports and exports in Aotearoa, finding out
where exactly we get such everyday items as wheat, rice and
bananas. Who knew Australia grew so much of our food? Shanti joins
Madeleine Chapman on Behind the Story to talk about the extensive
process of parsing massive datasets and research in order to make
these stories accessible. For The Spinoff editor’s thoughts on the
week that was, as well as a handpicked collection of the week’s
best reads, subscribe to The Weekend with Madeleine Chapman
