I am the founder and CEO of the Ōtautahi Commons Trust - a charitable trust that holds a vision to create a more nourishing and connected life for the present and future generations of Ōtautahi and beyond.
We are managing a portfolio of projects that all aim to lift the wellness of communities and support the regeneration of local ecologies:
- Roimata Food Commons - activation of public space for the provision of nourishment through the practice of commoning.
- Toha Kai - an affordable healthy, local, organic fruit and vege box non-profit business.
- Toha Kai Farm - an emerging net energy positive growing system.
- Pedal Power - a no emission e-trike delivery service for our Toha Kai boxes.
Also exploring a new multiple modes of capital co-operative model...and now interested in how doughnut economics can help map our local food system to identify opportunities to increase the wellness of all life.
