- **Event Description**: Nau mai - Haere mai,

On behalf of all Rautāpatu Foundation Trustees, we warmly invite you to our third community wānanga for The BIG Kai Redesign, a mana-centred kaupapa to co-design a resilient kai strategy for Taranaki. This wānanga is being co-hosted by our whanau Kurahaupo waka and we warmly invite you all to attend.  
 
Taranaki’s kai space is full of diverse and thriving initiatives supported by whānau, hapū, and local businesses. The BIG Kai Redesign aims to look critically at the current Food System, honour mātauranga Māori and understand & strengthen the flow of kai and nurture the wellbeing of people, their whakapapa, and Te Taiao. Ultimately our goal is to weave existing kai initiatives, indigenous values, and aspirations across Taranaki into one regional strategy and action plan. Our focus is on:
 
Mana-Centred Values: Elevating cultural identity, dignity, and spiritual connection to kai  
Circular & Regenerative Systems: Embracing innovative kai models that care for Te Taiao, eliminate waste, and support sustainability  
Community Empowerment: A collaborative process drawing on the wisdom of whānau, hapū, our Pasifika communities, businesses and kai system kaitiaki  
 
To date, our research highlights urgent Food System challenges in affordability, environmental harm, and inequity, calling for solutions rooted in indigenous knowledge and innovation.  
 
We invite you to build the momentum and join us on this journey. Please feel free to forward to other whanau who have a passion for kai and systems thinking.

Spaces are limited, please book early!
