It was a threat that struck fear into a nation. In May, New Zealand's prime minister was sent a letter warning that foot and mouth disease had been deliberately released on Waiheke Island, near Auckland. It turned out to be a hoax, but the threat underlined how heavily the country's economy relies on meat and dairy produce.

In this two-page survey of the country, Emma Young has picked out the latest news, while on page 56 we explore a unique selling point that could tempt talent to New Zealand: the many successful independent researchers who work without any institutional ties.
