Description

Focuses on the potential threat to New Zealand food exports of the 'food miles' concept, used by some in the UK as an argument for not importing goods from New Zealand due to transportation carbon costs. Explains the flaws in the 'food miles' argument and warns that New Zealand will not be the only specialist food producing company harmed if the 'food miles' argument gains traction. Overviews historical threats to New Zealand-UK trade since the cargo ship 'Dunedin' sailed to the UK in 1882.
