In te ao Māori, soil is taonga. It is also whanaunga - it holds ancestral connections and is the root of tūrangawaewae and whakapapa. It is the source of shelter, kai and manaakitanga. This collection of essays, profiles and recipes shine a light on Māori relationships with soil and the connections between soil and food security, and frames these links within tino rangatiratanga from a variety of Māori perspectives. Edited by Jessica Hutchings (Ngāi Tahu, Ngāti Huirapa, Gujarati) and Jo Smith (Kāi Tahu, Kāti Māmoe, Waitaha) (Free Range Press, August 2020).
