Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Agriculture The history of agriculture in New Zealand is a record of great achievement in overcoming many difficulties, for our country, though endowed with a climate very suitable for agriculture, has little naturally fertile soil and much very hilly country. Agriculture in New Zealand was started by the Polynesians, the Maoris and their predecessors, the moa-hunters. After the first white men landed on the shores of New Zealand in 1769 Captain Cook reported the existence of large coastal cropping areas of up to 200 acres in kumara, taro and yam. Considering that the Maoris used only wooden and stone tools this is remark able. Helped by the early missionaries the Maoris were quick to make use of the potato introduced to them first by Captain Cook and later by the whalers. Early in the 19th century the potato had become a major item in their diet and was an article of trade with visiting ships. Maori agriculture continued to develop and reached a high level in the Waikato, Bay of Plenty and Rotorua districts Where, just prior to the Maori Wars (1860 several thousands of acres of native land were in potatoes, wheat, maize and kumaras. European agriculture in New Zealand was started in 1814 by the Rev. Samuel Marsden at his, the first, mission station in New Zealand at the Bay of Islands. Apart from the mission stations, there was no organised agriculture until after the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840. Organised settlement of Otago took place in 1848 and of Canterbury in 1850. In these provinces the open native tussock grasslands invited grazing and soon pastoral farming on a large scale developed to the Australian pattern. Near the centres of population throughout New Zealand mixed farming developed to supply the needs of the townsfolk. There were, in those days, no special kinds of farming like dairy ing and fruit-growing. Most settlers raised a great variety of crops and livestock, and their wives not only cooked and sewed, but also spun, knitted and churned. Just before the Maori Wars, Auckland, then the largest centre of population, produced more wheat than Canterbury.

Download or read book A Short History of Economic Progress written by Y.S. Brennor and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-17 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Y. S. Brenner is an economist whose main concern is with development, and this attitude is reflected in his approach to economic history.He begins this seminal study in the era of the Reformation in Europe, and bases it on the hypothesis that once started, economic progress will spread over ever-increasing parts of the earth wherever and whenever conditions become suitable. From this point of view, he examines the nature of the impediments which prevent the more rapid and general progress of mankind towards greater material affluence, while at the same time considering the positive growth promoting factors in the various economies. Thus, he provides an analysis of economic progress in the developed countries showing which natural, social, political and cultural forces promoted such progress and which delayed or hindered it. He attempts to explain why European nations took several decades to emulate the achievements of Britain and why nations in other parts of the world, such as Japan and Russia, were unable for a considerable time to match the advances made in parts of Western Europe and the United States. Finally, he attempts to explain why the developing countries are still finding it so difficult to catch up with the economic progress of the more advanced nations.Y. S. Brenner was Head of the Department of Economics at Cape Coast University in Ghana. The book arose from a series of lectures on economic development he delivered there during the years 1966-1967. This book was first published in 1969.
