About NexGen Kai
Operating at the intersection of education, sustainability, and community empowerment.
Our Kaupapa
NexGen Kai delivers aquaponics programmes that transform how young people learn about and engage with food production. Our model integrates tikanga Māori and local knowledge systems, recognizing that sustainable food education must be grounded in cultural practices and community values.
We provide complete support—from initial system design through installation, staff training, curriculum development, and ongoing technical mentoring—to ensure schools and communities can operate successful, self-sustaining aquaponics systems.
Addressing Critical Challenges
Our work builds capacity for climate-resilient local food systems while tackling key environmental and social issues facing Aotearoa.
Aquaponics uses 95-99% less water than traditional agriculture.
Our soilless systems provide an alternative to conventional farming.
We empower communities to grow their own fresh, local produce.
We provide hands-on, practical STEM learning for communities.
