Heartland Strong: How Rural New Zealand Can Change And Thrive by Margaret Brown and Bill Kaye-Blake and Penny Payne

The future of New Zealand's rural communities is often in the news. Empty shops, depopulation and lack of jobs are offered as signs that many towns are dying. However, the strength of social ties and development of digital technologies, the innovations in rural entrepreneurship and the functioning informal economy suggest that some rural communities are in good health. There is no getting away from the challenges to the rural sector. But what if you consider economics AND demography AND the environment, aiming for a holistic description of rural communities? Then the picture looks quite different. This 2019 Massey University Press Softcover is in very good condition.
