Join Para Kore and Rā Apanui for this interactive session, where we will explore mapping our kai sources from our own backyard and beyond, to our neighbourhood and town. The aim is to identify what we can grow, find, and/or support locally.

In this Learning Bite, Para Kore, alongside Dr Jessica Hutchings, will travel back in time to understand what our traditional pre-colonial food systems looked like and explore how colonisation and industrialised food systems have disconnected our puku from Papatūānuku.
