EAT NEW ZEALAND
A New Zealand food movement, Eat
New Zealand has been awarded the
annual Auckland Airport $100,000
tourism development grant for
its mission to develop ‘out of the
ordinary’ thinking to promote New
Zealand and support our vision to
become the world’s premium food
destination. The funding will assist
towards establishing a nationwide
food celebration that showcases the
story of New Zealand food alongside
traditional Matariki celebrations.
Chief executive Angela Clifford says
her organisation wants to support
the development of sustainable
food systems, making sure all
Kiwis have access to New Zealand
food. “We want to increase New
Zealand’s unique culinary credentials
by sharing our food stories with
the world. With our three biggest
tourism markets - Australia, China
and the USA - also being our three
largest food and beverage export
markets, this is a great opportunity
for our primary sectors. Whether
you are farming in Southland,
exporting beer from Wellington or
providing unique dining experiences
in Northland, this report highlights
opportunities both behind and
beyond the farm gate to connect
with consumers.”
