PROGRAMME
DAY ONE: Globalisation, free trade and post-capitalist economies.

Day one begins in the international context and looks at the impacts globalisation, capitalism and free trade agreements are having on Indigenous rights, the rights of nature, food, farming and our sacred traditional medicines.

The focus of day three is on the Hua Parakore – Māori organic systems. On day three the symposium moves to Papatūānuku Kōkiri marae, a Hua Parakore verified marae and māra kai in South Auckland. We will learn about the many kaupapa taking place on the marae and hear from those on the Hua Parakore verification journey, including tangata tiriti. Day three is all about the local-growing Hua Parakore as a movement of resistance to return food and farming to the hands of Indigenous and local communities.
