Is farming really the backbone of the New Zealand economy? In
this episode of Undercurrents, Ollie Neas speaks with freshwater
ecologist Dr Mike Joy and economist Dr Geoff Bertram about the
rise of intensive dairying, the political influence of the
agricultural sector, and the environmental costs that have been
pushed onto the public. They explore why farming's changing place
in the economy, why meaningful reform has proved so difficult,
and whether New Zealand's attachment to the "backbone" myth is
holding us back. So, is big agriculture holding New Zealand
hostage?
