The Eat New Zealand Hui 2025

We're Celebrating 10 Years of Eat New Zealand!

Monday 6th & Tuesday 7th October 2025

AUT, Tāmaki Makaurau / Auckland

Ten years ago, a conversation in Ōtautahi Christchurch changed everything. Chef Giulio Sturla brought together chefs, producers, media, academics, and food leaders to ask bold questions about the future of food in Aotearoa. That spark became Eat New Zealand - a decade-long movement to shape our food story and reconnect us with our kai.

Now we’re celebrating ten years of this kaupapa with two unforgettable days of talks, ideas, and connection in Tāmaki Makaurau / Auckland, alongside our friends at AUT, The Centre for Critical Food Studies, The Pacific Food Lab and The Foundation for Arable Research.

We’ll reflect on where we’ve come from, explore the challenges we face, and look ahead to the future of food systems in Aotearoa.

Tickets are now available, and they’re limited. 

Let’s work on what comes next, together.
