The Indigenous Seed, Soil, and Food Sovereignty Symposium, He Whenua Rongo, a groundbreaking event that will provide a unique platform for knowledge exchange, collaboration, and empowerment, focusing on the vital elements of seed, soil, and food sovereignty for Indigenous peoples.
During this symposium, participants will have the opportunity to explore and celebrate the wisdom of Māori and other indigenous communities in preserving and promoting diverse seed varieties, sustainable soil management practices, and resilient food systems.
The symposium will feature a diverse range of presentations, panel discussions, workshops, and interactive sessions led by renowned experts, indigenous leaders, and community representatives.
Your sponsorship will provide an opportunity to engage in thought-provoking discussions, share experiences, and learn from the rich tapestry of Indigenous cultures and traditions.
The symposium will also facilitate whanaungatanga and networking opportunities, enabling participants to forge meaningful connections, build partnerships, and collaborate on future projects.
By bringing together diverse communities, we hope to spark new ideas, inspire collective action, and enhance the global recognition of indigenous knowledge and practices in food and farming.
