Summary

The Green Party supports everyone’s right to food that is safe, accessible, and affordable. For Māori, this includes the right to access and prepare food in traditional ways. Aotearoa New Zealand needs a national strategy for the whole food system that builds local resilience, reduces waste, and protects the climate. When there is enough food, and it is nourishing, it supports our health and wellbeing. We want to prepare and share meals with our family and friends. This will sustain and strengthen our family traditions and cultural practices.
