These are New Zealand's largest flat lands spreading over 200 km along the South Island's Pacific coast and reaching over 60km inland.

Farm studies
Interested groups discover how the plains provide food for both local consumption and export trade.

We can look at the ways human innovation converted these, once desert lands, into highly productive farms* and their settlements*.
