We need your help! For the last ten years Eat New Zealand has been Aotearoa's not for profit national food movement.

We have been dedicated to pursuing the idea that all New Zealanders should have access to their food. We want kai (food) which sustains us culturally, socially and nutritionally. We want it to be produced or collected in a way that supports the balance of our natural world; our land, fresh water and ocean. We want thriving, healthy food communities; everyone from our farmers and fishers, to our chefs and eaters.

When we started in May 2015, we brought everyone together to lead the biggest food conversation in the country and we want to do that again for our 10th birthday next year.

But times are tough, and holding onto this vision is really hard. We know you’re all out there fighting for survival as businesses, communities and organisations. So let’s join together and collectively manifest what comes next. There is huge power and unity in collaboration!

We’ll bring as many of our 100+ next generation food leaders (Eat NZ Kaitaki) as possible.

We hold space for and amplify everything we’ve learnt about our indigenous food systems through celebrations such as Feast Matariki.

We'll call up the regions and organisations and people we’ve been working with in everything from food security to food waste, food tourism to regenerative food systems.

We’ll invite those creating innovative food system solutions like Local Grain Economies, Agroecological practices, Kai Sovereignty, food & health connectors and community-based solutions throughout the world.

We’ll raise the call again for a National Food Strategy for Aotearoa.

Join us in May 2025 to help celebrate 10 years of Eat New Zealand as we come together for the biggest and most important food conversation Aotearoa has ever seen.
