Vested interests in big agriculture : a freshwater scientist’s personal experience

Reveals the vested interests of big business and media that are behind the failures of both central and local government to limit the rampant and extreme intensification of farming that has occurred over the past three decades during the author's career studying freshwaters in New Zealand. Observes the degradation of the country's lowland freshwater ecosystems that has resulted as a consequence.
