Food Hui 2021
Monday 1st November - Day 1 by Restaurant Association.
Tuesday 2nd November - Day 2 by Eat New Zealand.
Where: Christchurch Town Hall, Ōtautahi
Eat New Zealand began life as a day of talks about our food and the things that influence it. For that reason our Food Hui remains a hugely important date in our yearly calendar. This is our seventh consecutive annual symposium and it will be held in Christchurch on Monday 1st November and Tuesday 2nd November and co-presented with the Restaurant Association of New Zealand.
It is undoubtedly the most important food conversation in New Zealand, as it covers all aspects of our food.
Eat New Zealand have partnered with The Restaurant Association of New Zealand to bring you a plethora of speakers and panellists and guests assembled for two days of talking, listening and thinking about New Zealand food.
Our vision for Food Hui 2021 is...WITHIN
An opportunity to look inwards. To embrace, celebrate and champion who and what we are as a food nation, while striving to lead a new way forward.
A chance to celebrate what we have here, within ourselves. To seek guidance from our own leaders, thinkers and innovators. To encourage each other and to look for support on our own shores.
We will draw on global experiences as lessons to help focus on our own narrative. To take pride in our industry, in our food, our people, our stories, our heritage and our land. To strengthen what we have already built and to come together to look within, as we look ahead to pave a more resilient food future for Aotearoa.
Day 2 - Tuesday 2nd November presented by Eat New Zealand
Day two will focus on embracing who we are as a food nation, from our producers to those who celebrate our food and food experiences.
The event will bring together leaders, thinkers and innovators to seek guidance and support to strengthen what we have already built and to come together to pave a more resilient food future for Aotearoa.
The day will begin with a discussion on partnership for our food story, building on the conversation started through Feast Matariki, a national food celebraton for Aotearoa.
Then some of our Kaitaki will take to the stage. They’re a diverse nationwide network of young food story-tellers; farmers, fishers, community food advocates, chefs, writers & health professionals. Together they’ll weave a picture of our future food landscape.
How we can incorporate a values-based framework or national food strategy into our food system will be discussed.
We’ll look at specific areas of our food such as dairy and seaweed considering the challenges and opportunities ahead.
Finally we’ll consider the development of food communities through local food networks and regenerative food tourism to understand how they’ll play an important role in our food security and food celebration moving forwards.
