Interview | Jessica Hutchings SOIL SOVEREIGNTY
“There’s something very restorative and nurturing about eating food that’s not out of plastic, that hasn’t needed oil in its production method through transportation or food supply, pesticides or chemicals…it’s a big part of wellbeing for me.”
Dr Jessica Hutchings (Ngāi Tahu, Ngāti Huirapa, Gujarat) discusses the book she published ‘Te Mahi Māra Hua Parakore’ and the key kaupapa of food sovereignty, Māori organic garden growing, Te Waka Kai Ora and political activism.
“Māori food sovereignty for me is about returning to eat the landscapes which we’re from.”
“Jessica Hutchings has been a leader of the hua parakore, or Māori organics movement.”
