Vote for Kai In-Person Political Forum

We will soon decide our government for the next three years, and this will include how we govern, run and design our food system. It’s something that affects every single one of us on a daily basis.

Good food that keeps us well, accessed in a way that reflects our agency and choice and regenerates our natural world to ensure abundance for our children and all future generations, should not be up for political debate - but here we are.

Vote for Kai is a growing movement, launched by Eat New Zealand and supported by Kore Hiakai Zero Hunger Collective, Health Coalition Aotearoa, Vets for Animal Welfare, Aotearoa Food Rescue Alliance and The Salvation Army. Our open letter has passed 2,000 signatures, backed by over 100 businesses and organisations who have joined the call.

This political forum is where we bring the conversation into one room.

Join us for a cross-party discussion on where our political parties stand on food, and what they're prepared to do about it - because we're Voting For Kai.
