摘要：This paper examines the economic history of New Zealand land based issues with a focus on the future because a number of contemporary agricultural issues have surfaced in the past. The phrase land based is used here to connote people, communities and industries that are strongly linked to the land resource. Accordingly, our fuzzy definition focuses on horticulture and agriculture, and to some extent forestry, mining and smaller industries including rural tourism. We are interested here in what rural people have done with rural resources historically and the challenges facing their future quantum and allocation. The historical review consists of a survey of existing material from studies by Condliffe, Philpott, Hawke, Gould, Bellich, Sinclair, Critchell and Raymond, Belshaw et al., Evans and Ward2. This survey has been organised around five broad current agenda items: market led growth, land issues, technology development and transfer, rural people and community development and policy. In a sense, the same story is being told five different ways. In so doing some overlap is inevitable.
