As part of our Whenua Ora programme, Karioi is our commitment to a 20-year transition towards tikanga-led farming practices across our portfolio of businesses.
Karioi aims to:
reconnect our whānau to the whenua
foster whānau and local food resilience in our community
revitalise indigenous food knowledge systems including preserving and sharing seeds
build evidence and knowledge on the impact of our tikanga-led practices on soils, water,
and crops.
Te Māra o Puanga Kairau, our māra (garden), was developed to grow indigenous crops. The māra was
given its name to recognise the significance of the harvest star Puanga to Motueka, and to recognise the
whakatuakī Puanga kairau; Puanga of abundance.
