Aotearoa Food Futures cluster

Bringing together people with broad interests in food systems, including food production, distribution, consumption and their complex relationships.

Our transdisciplinary research cluster examines complex relationships with and within food systems – inclusive of food production, distribution, and consumption. Recognising diverse understandings of the role and value of food, our food systems community draws on local and global knowledge to chart just and resilient food futures for Aotearoa New Zealand. Incorporating socio-cultural, environmental, economic, as well as political and scientific imperatives, we bring together people with interests in food security and food sovereignty to address a range of complex food-related challenges related to social and environmental justice including poverty, climate change, and resource use.
