Champion the change to fix food systems in Aotearoa

What if a deeper understanding of the food system meant you could achieve greater things in your role?

Wherever you work within the food system, we will help you understand the role you have to play in fixing it as part of a connected network of producers, suppliers, vendors and consumers.

Through our accessible online training courses, you’ll discover how your organisation can minimise environmental impact, cut commercial costs and play its part in facilitating positive action towards big topics like climate change. You’ll be empowered with the knowledge you need to recognise opportunities for improvement, and begin to take affirmative action, while inspiring and enabling others to do the same.

Register for Food Foundations, our foundational food system training course. We run this course either in person and online at various dates across the year. The dates for 2024 will be set soon.
