Restoring Māori Kai Systems
Restoring tīpuna mātauranga to address kai and climate crises
This Learning Bite explores our traditional kai systems in te ao Māori and the importance of the intergenerational mātauranga that they carry. Colonisation may have profoundly impacted how we interact with kai, but reclaiming and restoring the kai practices and mātauranga of our tīpuna is essential for building mana motuhake and to address today’s kai, health, climate, biodiversity, soil, and energy crises.
