The Tuputupu Grow Northland Initiative has been developed by Northland Inc in response to evolving challenges and opportunities across the primary and associated manufacturing sectors in Taitokerau Northland.
The Tuputupu Grow Northland initiative has a vision of Taitokerau Northland’s people and environment thriving through adaptation and innovation, leading to sustainable and optimal land use choices, commercialisation of new opportunities, and development of value-add products and manufacturing.
The initiative has a quadruple bottom line, focussing on economic, environmental, people, and cultural outcomes.
