Cultivating a Sustainable Future Together with NexGen Kai

He aha te mea nui o te ao? He tangata, he tangata, he tangata.  

“What is the most important thing in the world? It is people, it is people, it is people.”

​

This whakatauki speaks to the heart of our mission at NexGen Kai. We believe that collective action and community spirit are the keys to driving positive change. As a new charitable trust, we are dedicated to transforming the future through sustainable agriculture, education, and community-driven initiatives.

 

 Imagine a Future Where...

• Communities come together to grow fresh, organic produce using innovative Aquaponics technology.

• People of all backgrounds learn the skills to create sustainable food systems.

• Our environment thrives, and future generations inherit a healthier, more resilient planet.

 

At NexGen Kai, this vision is not just a dream—it’s our mission. We’re creating spaces where people can learn, grow, and connect, all while fostering a deeper understanding of sustainability and the importance of kai (food) in our lives.

 

 Our Vision: Community Aquaponic Gardens Across New Zealand

 

NexGen Kai was born from a simple yet powerful idea: to create hubs of learning and sustainable food production in communities nationwide. These spaces will be places where people can:

• Learn about Aquaponics and sustainable farming practices.

• Grow fresh, organic produce right in their own neighbourhoods.

• Connect with others who share a passion for the environment and healthy living.

 

By bringing people together and empowering them with knowledge, we’re laying the foundation for a more sustainable future—one garden at a time.

 

 Our Mission and Objectives

 

At the core of everything we do are these guiding principles:

 

• Community-Centric. We’re building Aquaponic Garden facilities that serve as hubs for learning and sustainable food production.

• Educational. We provide hands-on opportunities for individuals and groups to engage with sustainable practices and environmental education.

• Sustainable. We’re committed to promoting sustainable food production and raising awareness about the importance of locally grown, organic kai.

• Vocational Training. We’re creating pathways for individuals to develop skills in Aquaponics and sustainable farming, preparing them for a future where these skills are essential.

• Collaborative. We work with schools, educational institutions, and other organizations to advance our shared goals of sustainability and community wellbeing.

 

 A Holistic Approach to Wellbeing

At NexGen Kai, we believe that sustainability isn’t just about the environment—it’s about the whole person. Our programs focus on the physical, mental, family, and spiritual dimensions of wellbeing, helping individuals and communities lead healthier, more fulfilling lives.
