Starting with the colonial history of farms in New Zealand, Hugh Campbell goes on to describe the rise of modernist farming and its often hidden political, racial and ecological effects. He concludes with an examination of alternative ways to farm in New Zealand, showing how the prior histories of colonisation and modernisation reveal important ways to farm differently in post-colonial worlds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Hugh Campbell's book has wide-ranging implications for understanding the role farms play in both our food systems and landscapes, and is an exciting new addition to food studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe eBook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.
