AN ESSENTIAL GUIDE TO NEW ZEALAND'S DYNAMIC
AGRICULTURAL AND HORTICULTURAL INDUSTRY

Written by experts from Massey University's School of Agriculture and
Environment, this is an accessible and straightforward overview of the business of
growing plants for human and animal consumption, as well as forestry and flower
production. It has a focus on New Zealand practices, and information on social
issues, environmental costs, food safety, chemical use, post-harvest management
and availability.
Chapters cover pasture and forages, field crops and vegetables, kiwifruit,
grapes, pip fruit and summer fruit. There are also useful chapters on soils and
precision agriculture, and how new technologies are improving productivity and
sustainability.
The book is aimed at high school students studying agriculture, and year one
tertiary students undertaking degrees or diplomas in this subject. Those studying
agribusiness, resource management, nutrition, food technology and ecology will
also find it helpful.
