From bush to business: Exploring the Māori economy through Mānuka honey, sustainability, and global trade.
Whakataukī | Traditional Wisdom
“Nā tō rourou, nā taku rourou, ka ora ai te iwi.”
With your food basket and my food basket, the people will thrive.
Collaboration and shared resources create prosperity for everyone. Economy is about community well-being.
The Big Idea | Te Kaupapa Mātāmua
Business isn't just about money. For Māori, enterprise is evaluated against the Triple Bottom Line: Tangata (People), Taiao (Environment), and Ōhanga (Economy). In this unit, students explore the booming Mānuka honey industry to understand how we can create value while protecting our natural environment.
