Find Our Food System
Discover what’s already growing, cooking, rescuing, and sharing food across North Canterbury.

Food Citizen Programme
YOU are the answer to a fairer, healthier food system.
The Food Citizen Programme is a practical, step-by-step journey that helps people understand how food systems work — and how everyday choices can create meaningful change. Learn, reflect, and take action at your own pace.
