We face a biodiversity crisis and a climate meltdown. Our food systems are broken, our soils are depleted and our seeds are owned by global corporations. The mainstream response to these crises drowns out the Indigenous perspectives and solutions that offer pathways to ecological, cultural and socio-economic sustainability as well as greater connection to food in our everyday lives.
This book salutes Indigenous food heroes from across Aotearoa and Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa whose inspiring stories show how change begins locally and on a small scale.
Written by verified Hua Parakore farmers, activists, Indigenous researchers and Indigenous food sovereignty leaders Jessica Hutchings and Jo Smith, Pātaka Kai encourages a return to Indigenous values and practices to achieve kai sovereignty and wellbeing for Mother Earth and her people.
‘A powerful, inspiring story of growing food sovereignty for our times.’ — Dr Vandana Shiva, founder of the Research Foundation for Science, Technology and Natural Resource Policy
Genre: Te ao Māori, Natural history and environment, Lifestyle, Health, Contemporary issues
