Agriculture is one of the country's most crucial building blocks.
As anyone who has visited New Zealand will tell you, aside from Bill Gates' piggy bank, it's one of the greenest places on the planet. All that emerald space needs someone to till it, and that's where farming enters. Granted, it's odd to think of flying 20 hours away so you can milk cows, but in truth, getting back to nature with an udder in your hand can turn out to be more recuperative than lolling on a beach with a rum runner in your hand. In fact, one of the funkier pleasures of New Zealand is the ubiquitous farm show. It's one of the strangest forms of entertainment in the world.
