The Food Matters Aotearoa Conference is supported by the Council as it will  contribute positively to the debates about food production and safety that are essential to the New Zealand economy.

Mayor Wade-Brown welcomes the Food Matters Aotearoa conference to the Capital. Food is a fundamental life issue, a health matter and its production has considerable environmental and welfare implications.

Food can also be a pleasure and cultural connection, a big contributor to the city economy and employment. Wellington also has a thriving urban agriculture movement with many community gardens, orchards, beehives and food share systems.

The Council has a long-term vision (Towards 2040: Smart Capital) to showcase  Wellington as an eco-city that can respond proactively to environmental challenges.
