Building Indigenous Food Sovereignty with the Hua Parakore Organic Framework
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 чер 2024
- Hua Parakore was established in Aotearoa New Zealand by Te Waka Kai Ora, the National Māori Organic Authority. It provides a framework using Indigenous values - Māori principles - for producing natural food without chemical inputs or GMO. It also encapsulates the Māori worldview in its approach to how food growers are verified as Hua Parakore, with principles that require practitioners to deeply consider such things as their connection with the land, its energy, the many species living on it, and their community.
This documentary provides an insight into Hua Parakore from the perspective of one of its most knowledgeable practitioners - Dr Jessica Hutchings was one of the researchers who helped develop the framework.
We couldn't possibly do justice in one short film to everything that framework encapsulates, so we've also released the full-length interview we shot with Jessica, for those wishing to form a deeper understanding of Indigenous food sovereignty and the Hua Parakore framework. Find the link to that interview below.

There are so many things I love about this film, but mainly language. My parents were Jamaican, from enslaved ancestors. We not only don't really know who our ancestors were, but our ancestors had their original languages and cultures ripped from them. Seeing people who were also colonised, be it in Aotearoa or the US, keeping hold of their language and cultures makes me so happy and hopeful. Indigenous knowledge is the true treasure.

9 minutes of inspiring holistic practical wisdom. Thank you bringing the values underlying the farm as a gentle immersive experience.
This gives me hope for the world. Food sovereignty is one step toward increasing freedom from our American wage-slave state.
I find the philosophy behind Hua Parakore both emotionally and intellectually satisfying. I wish I could learn the system and apply it where I live. Alas I live on the high plains (the Great American Desert) which is unlike anything in NZ.
Good luck! I'm from the Sacramento valley, another dry hot grassy place hopefully you find the knowledge you seek!
I spent several years living in that environment. I would love to read the story of how you interact with that corner of the planet and live beautifully within its unique environment. Best to you!
Thanks for this incredible video!
Thanks Rob!
Wonderful and inspirational. People living in harmony with nature.

Absolutely brilliant. Thanks for making this film
Thanks Ann, glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for sharing this indigenous philosophy. I believe that indigenous knowledge is vital to rebuilding our food systems, preserving biodiversity and addressing climate change. Be well.
Ficaria muito feliz se os vídeos fossem legendados para língua portuguesa. Gratidão.
Greetings again here from the low interior desert of Metro Phx in the US...our climate is somewhat unique, though it mirrors some harsher Australian climes to a degree. Whether completely applicable or not to our growing conditions, I always look forward to your fantastic productions !
Thank you for your wonderful, inspiring work in bringing these stories so beautifully to life and putting them into the world. Heading over now to watch the full-length interview.
That was beautiful! I wish we grew food like this everywhere!
thanks for this great content, best wishes from Brazil!
Thank you so much for another important video. xx
There is so much we have to learn from Indigenous ways of knowing and caring for the land. Thank you for sharing this insightful piece on Māori principles.
Great film, as always! Love you guys!
Thanks Campfire Stories - looking forward to your next too :)
Totally a miracle!Thanks !
Best regards from Sardinia Italy! 😜
I don't know if this happens to anyone else, but the subtitles are sort of taking up the whole page...? :)
Oh that shouldn't happen. What device are you watching on?
Awesome!
Was interested in hearing about the " hundred of years of scientific knowledge as Maori". Would be really cool to see another perspective of the scientific method that the Maori developed, but she didn't really get into it.
You may be interesting in reading about Maramataka, the lunar calendar, is used to guide harvest, planting, fishing etc. Local government agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency/ Te Mana Rauhi Taiao integrate this kind of Maori knowledge(Matauranga) and practice into policy. If you want to use scientific jargon, it is a network of practitioners with empirical knowledge of ecosystemic-biospheric stocks and flows, with the technical capacity to monitor system changes, and provide stewardship of living systems. Practically, how do you prevent overfishing? When is the good time to pick herbs so as to assure that they are there again next year, and benefit the forest? etc.
Exactly
@@madmoonrabbit OK cool. I thought that she meant that the Maori were "doing science" in the way we "do science" and was curious about that
@@libraryofpapel Thank you. I will check that out. I love learning about things like that.
Well Done
Subscribed.....🙂
Good 👍👍👍

Oh my gay heart! Thanks for the great video, I'm a queer, restorative forestry student this makes me so happy to see ☺️
💗🌈🌞🙌 yes yes, for ever and ever, yes! 🙌🌞🌈💗
It's funny how some folks are afraid to return the land to indigenous peoples because they think something terrible will happen to them. But that's just a colonial perspective being projected on the world. Indigenous practices all over the world are inclusive, and if they were returned their land, humanity might have a chance at surviving this climate catastrophe
The claim of hundreds of years of scientific knowledge as Māori defeats the claim of indigenous knowledge. There is science and there is Māori knowledge. Blending the two is fine, but to claim pure indigenous in one phrase and then claim the use of science in the next is strange to say the least. Māori knowledge is fine but it is not scientific. What is being attempted is the embracing of colonial science while aluding to a moving away from, a rejection of things colonial. That amounts to speaking with forked tongue.
I don't see any difference between the Hua Parakore framework, and the permaculture principles/ lifestyle philosophy. Permaculture has also the same visions over the land, community practices, it's also a lifestyle, it's against colonialism and capitalist production systems, etc.
Did she said "My wife"?! That is unindigenous... unnatural. Nature refuses fake names. Nature is pure and original.
