Mana Whenua Research

Tahuri Whenua Incorporated Society, or the National Māori Horticultural Collective, was established in 2003. As a charitable kaupapa Māori entity working across māra kai and horticultural spaces, their mahi extends to representing Māori interests in horticulture and supports, facilitates, and share resources regarding māra kai. With taonga crops and indigenous knowledge central to their kaupapa, the idea and practice of "rethinking our kai" is a very familiar space, and they acknowledge that this requires us to draw on the past, and do the mahi necessary today to ensure that we provide for the future.
