Description:

A favourite saying of ol' Grandad CR Perriam was 'whiskey's for drinking, waters for fighting'. Nothings changes since the fight between gold miners and farmers in Central Otago in the 1800's till now.

We have never had so much technology at our fingertips to preserve water in human history, so it's more about a social license for every drop.

This week in Sarah's Country we discover the exploding future of 'super-foods' grown from algae in water with Justin Hall from Tahi Spirulina, NZ's first spirulina farm on how this diversified plant-based market is on fire.

Sarah Perriam, the host of Sarah's Country, is this week joined by guest co-host Sarah O’Connell, Facilitator & Extension, The AgriBusiness Group.
