the capacity to be physically nourished by land
Nourishment is the basis of life and land is a source of that physical nourishment. Maori landowners need to find ways to be supported by their land. This requires investigation into land potential and uses.
Traditionally, land provided Māori with the physical sustenance and nutrition essential for human survival. More recently, Māori have experienced a disconnect from their source of food. Material dependence on the land is no longer a survival necessity of many Māori who now live in modern realities. An altered Māori economic dependence and decreasing physical relationship on land has changed their connection to the land. |
