Te Pū Oranga Whenua Revenue

About Te Pū Oranga Whenua

We’re an inter-regional collective of Māori agribusinesses led by wāhine. We're working together to build profitable, sustainable whānau-owned businesses and relationships that help others make progress on common issues. Our members are redefining agriculture based on te ao Māori principles; producing skincare products from sustainably harvested native plants (rongoa); researching how to rehabilitate forestry blocks and using the whole-of-mānuka value chain, and working on indigenous genomics and collective land governance. We make decisions together, based on a shared wāhine Māori view: that te ao Māori and matauranga Māori (our Māori worldview and knowledge) will help us solve the challenges we face, and that our people have the skills to lead the way. We’re thinking big. We want to change the food system in Aotearoa to build strong, resilient rural communities and create opportunities for whānau to own their own businesses. To do this, we’re focusing on a kaupapa (initiative) of whānau feeding whānau first, of healing Papatūānuku (mother earth), and of doing things in ways that work for Māori. That means strengthening whānau leadership and ensuring a whānau voice in how land is used, addressing data sovereignty, and creating decentralised, smaller businesses. It also means blending scientific data with matauranga Māori and sharing resources. We’d love to work with other Māori businesses and people who share our vision.
