Next year will mark 200 years since the establishment of the first European settlement in New Zealand – a missionary station at the Marsden Cross Reserve in the Bay of Islands. Recent excavations of the site have revealed some fascinating things about the way the first missionaries lived their lives two centuries ago.

10:05 Is locavorism the answer to feeding the world?

Jay Rayner is one of Britain's most influential food writers and critics. He believes the doctrine of local food is dead, that farmers' markets are merely a lifestyle choice for the affluent middle classes, and 'organic' has become little more than a marketing label that is way past its sell by date. He talks about in large-scale food production, why he’s changed his view on New Zealand produce being shipped to the UK and Europe, and why thinks that worrying about food miles misses the point?
