In Re-food, Emily advocates for a food systems approach to Aotearoa New Zealand’s troubled food networks – one that takes into account the full paths and processes from the farm to the family table.
The book looks at the best path forward to address challenges we face with soils, waterways, climate change, food waste, packaging, unhealthy diets and a lack of access to food. While Re-food focuses on Aotearoa, New Zealand the themes are globally applicable and the content internationally relevant.
Written in three Grow, Make and Nourish, Re-food traverses the food system and unpacks its issues along the way while providing timely and relevant ideas and inspiration for readers to solve these problems.
It also offers tools, insights and mindset changes that chart a path towards a healthier, more sustainable food future, one which incorporates Te Ao Māori and our strengths as a top quality food producing nation in Aotearoa, New Zealand.
Wow. This was an incredible book, it taught me so much about the holistic ‘food system’ in Aotearoa and what needs to be done on so many different levels. It was somehow comprehensive yet digestible, the sign of an incredibly knowledgeable and talented writer. I want to give this book to everyone in my life to read!!
