Whakahaumanu a Hineahuone is a national composting project grounded in mātauranga Māori and community-led action. Brought to life by Para Kore Marae, Te Waka Kai Ora, Aotearoa Composters Network and Zero Waste Aotearoa, this project supports small and medium-scale composting initiatives across Aotearoa to make mauri-rich compost for local soil and food sovereignty initiatives. In this talk, you'll hear a bit about the vision behind the project, and the aspirations of the collaborating organisations. We will also dive into the findings from our recent nationwide survey results on home and community composting in Aotearoa.
