KiwiNibble

and promotional coaster with QR code

KiwiNibble is an interactive website for learning the concept of eating habits and sustainable healthy consumption. 

Food consumption is not only a means of survival but also a way of how humans enjoy life. Food preferences, choices and habits are humans’ main considerations for food consumption. Food consumers are the largest and most accessible group.

Lack of awareness or confidence is the problem I want to focus on. Consumers are not yet concerned about sustainable consumption or do not understand what products to buy or actions to take.

How might we enable and empower underserved communities to develop sustainable healthy consumption habits to build awareness and confidence towards healthy eating habits to achieve health and well-being, especially for international students?

KiwiNibble accesses related literature, videos and Māori food stories. It can make students take notice of the value of eating habits, guide students in developing sustainable consumption, and balance their health and well-being.

As a non-Māori Tangata Tiriti, I acknowledge my obligation to build relationships with the Māori community respectfully and inclusively. I am grateful to Māori ancestors whose inventions and creations laid the foundation for Māori culture and customs.
