Kōanga Institute is the home of New Zealand's Largest Heritage Seed Bank and Food Plant Collection. Kay Baxter is one of the co-founders of the not-for-profit charity, aiming to inspire and support regenerative living.
On discovering indigenous groups world-wide have traditionally derived 30-80% of their calories from saturated fat, Kay found it impossible not to question her existing assumptions about health, the optimal human diet, and the best way to prepare food for maximum nutrition.
Kay's research is based on both historical evidence and her personal experience transitioning away from a vegetarian diet. She speaks with Mihi Forbes.
