Join our GROW campaign
Food and oil prices. Flat-lining yields. Climate change. Unfair trade. Failing markets. Gender inequality. Land grabs. All of these issues contribute to a global food system that is failing all of us and destroying the natural resources we rely on.
GROW a food conversation
Do you have a regular meeting in your community which includes a meal; perhaps it is a Rotary meeting, or a club, or a coffee group. Would you like to turn this into a GROW dinner?
A GROW dinner is an opportunity to hear more about the global food system and why it is failing all of us and destroying the natural resources we rely on. It is also a chance to meet other Oxfam supporters and share ideas on food justice.
Oxfam has great presentations and talented speakers ready to help. Together, we can share the GROW message and find out how your community or organisation can shape and assist the GROW campaign.
Coming soon: GROW dinner, Rocky Bay Hall, Waiheke Island. Date TBAIf you are interested in sharing a GROW dinner please email John at campaigns@oxfam.org.nz

Buy Fairtrade: tell supermarkets we want more Fairtrade products
Buying Fairtrade helps thousands of struggling growers in the developing world work their way out of poverty.
A huge range of Fairtrade products are available internationally but the range is still limited here in New Zealand. And unless sales of Fairtrade bananas increase soon, they won't be available in New Zealand for much longer.
- Tell your local supermarket to stock more Fairtrade
- Buy Fairtrade bananas – visit the All Good website to find out where
