  • Tourism’s Interconnectedness: Regenerative Food Systems - Part 3 with Nate Smith
    Jan 3 2023

    In our third episode of three exploring how tourism can support regenerative food systems, we’re thrilled to bring you our conversation with Nate Smith of Gravity Fishing, a man who is a force of nature! Nate was concerned that no one else was doing anything about the extractive fishing industry in Aotearoa and took action to transform the industry, while also using food tourism to reconnect his guests with nature.

    Nate speaks to many of the topics we’ve discussed this second season of GOOD Awaits: the power of stories in reshaping our guiding narrative, returning to old ways of knowing, connecting to place through food, educating guests by reconnecting them with the wild, redefining growth, using technology in new and innovative ways, thinking and acting at a systems level, and perhaps most importantly, believing that ‘a small guy’ can change a whole system.

    We can all be inspired by Nate, and ask ourselves, “What won’t happen if you don’t step up and do it?”

  • Tourism’s Interconnectedness: Regenerative Food Systems Part 2 - with Amie Young and Kaai Silbery
    Dec 6 2022

    As we continue to explore tourism’s purpose in a VUCA world, and how tourism can add value and capability to other systems, this is the second of three episodes exploring how tourism can support regenerative food systems, local food resiliency, and help shape local food stories. Both guests in this episode work at a systems level - utilising food related stories and experiences to deepen visitors’ connections to place, whilst adding value to local food and biodiversity systems.

    We speak to Amie Young, Destination Development Manager at Great South, the Regional Development Agency for Southland in New Zealand, who provides a regional perspective on how tourism and food intersect. Amie describes the development of SouthlandNZ’s Food Tourism Strategy that recognises food as a key part of the Southland story. We spoke to Amie about the plan’s goals to strengthen local food networks and support tourism entities in enabling visitors to understand the uniqueness of Southland through food related experiences.

    We also speak to Kaai Silbery, founder of Go Wild Apiary on the Chatham Islands, who gives us a local food producer and tourism operator perspective of how tourism can support apiculture and biodiversity protection. Kaai is passionate about wild food, endemic plant species, and her bees. She is a beautiful example of how one person can affect change in the systems they are part of by working across sectors and using tourism to tell local stories about the biodiversity and natural ecosystems of her place.
