apparently coffee, bananas, and pineapples will grow, up north.
i'm not saying it's a great idea to turn it all into farming land...
but new zealanders will pay for these products. we do pay for them. but they typically come from places around teh world where the workers are slaves, basically...
i would certain pay a bit more (and also eat a bit less) of bananas and coffee... if it was genuinely locally sustainably sourced.
lots of people in nz would.
eggs is another.
they don't properly police the manufacturers. so you get ripped off paying for 'organic' or 'free range' or 'spca approved' and it turns out to be a rubbish hoax. people would pay more if they trusted that the money they gave actually went into the things they were told it would go into.
