Dr Jessica Hutchings talks about Māori and indigenous food sovereignty, and her practice of this in her own life, through growing food, research and sharing knowledge. She articulates her views on GMOs and the risks that genetic engineering pose to indigenous peoples and their sovereignty.
Also, Jessica shares about the difficulties of ensuring Māori values and voices are centred in the organic and regenerative agriculture movements, and gives insights to behaviours of good allies.
