New Zealand needs a food strategy

In this episode I speak to CEO of Eat New Zealand Angela Clifford.

We talk about why New Zealand needs a food plan and strategy, how introduced species like deer and trout play a role in a food plan, we touch on food waste, regenerative agriculture, we bemoan how white bait is managed, and we talk about the role of the export market, the supermarket duopoly, Supie, the role consumers have to play in making new systems work and more.

 

Maori definitions used by Angela for foreign listeners;

Kai moana: Food from the sea

Whanau: Extended family or community

Mahinga kai: cultivation or food gathering place
