Jeanette Fitzsimons' work has been inspired by the Limits to Growth ever since that much-maligned book came out in 1972.   She has been, over those years, an environmental activist, university lecturer, researcher and writer, parent and eventually grandparent, farmer, musician, and for 13 years co-leader of the NZ Green Party in the national parliament.   She has worked on climate change, energy, transport, sustainable land use, organic farming, farm forestry and more  - which are, of course, really all one.   She is now "retired" on a small organic farm on the Coromandel peninsula which she works with her husband Harry, and is Patron of the Blueskin Resilient Communities Trust, and the Soil and Health Association of New Zealand.
