Regenerative Vanua

Regenerative Vanua is a Pasifika led not-for-profit organisation supporting resilient and self determined Vanuas throughout the Pacific to practice regenerative stewardship. Regenerative Vanua focuses on working within each Vanua’s inherited and traditional stewardship, custodianship and guardianship practices — aiming to restore pride in Indigenous food systems and food culture by promoting and facilitating regenerative agritourism, regenerative gastronomy, and regenerative food systems, ultimately resulting in regenerative, healthy oceans and ridge to reef landscapes. Regenerative Vanua rejects the notion of these Vanuas as destinations, and instead understands them to be communities who generously provide educational and transformational experiences where visitors are able to connect with regenerative knowledge systems in the Pacific. Regenerative Vanua has collaboratively developed the Regenerative Vanua Stewardship Agreements with its partners to ensure Vanua’s throughout the Pacific are resilient and self-reliant in the face of the global polycrisis – and focuses on protecting and promoting Indigenous Knowledge Systems to achieve this resilience. Regenerative Vanua is now working with regional partners and donors to apply these Stewardship Agreements and build the Regenerative movement through regenerative agritourism experiences and symposiums throughout the Pacific.
