Ko Tangata Tiriti ahau. With my little whānau I live in the shadow and protection of ngā maunga - Kaukau, Otari and Ahumairangi in Pōneke.

It is a pleasure and a privilege to be part of the leadership of Kore Hiakai Zero Hunger Collective where we dream of creating a food secure Aotearoa. We have worked hard to draw together a dynamic collection of passionate people and organisations who have this same dream: An Aotearoa where all thrive.

We know that are our economic and social systems drive our current increasing levels of food related poverty. The values at the heart of those systems come from our colonial heritage that favour extraction and financial gain over the wellbeing of people and planet. When we choose to put mana at the centre of our decision-making and our systems, all can thrive because there is enough. We can have a Food Secure Aotearoa!
