Country Life: Nick Roskruge - promoting Māori horticultural knowledge
Nick Rahiri Roskruge Photo: RNZ/Sally Round Nick Rahiri Roskruge has gone from working in a cropping gang to academia, and around the world teaching and learning about indigenous foods, but - as he says - he's never really left the paddock. His PhD in soil science led to a position as Professor of Ethnobotany at Massey University, a Fulbright award, and spending time with indigenous people and their crops in the Americas and the Pacific. Retired from his professorship, he said he was busier than ever and chatted to Country Life at his extensive māra in Manawatū about keeping traditional Māori horticultural knowledge alive.
