Motueka

The basics of berry breeding in a few minutes? Let's go.

That's Pauline Kiribiru, scientist at Bioeconomy Science Institute in Motueka, South Island.

And I'm Katharine Rilago-Komar with today's Here Now podcast.

Now, there's a berry boom going on.

And then now, most of those comments are gone, but everyone's tagging in their friends trying to accuse them of owning the whip.

And to my understanding, the whip is still on Parker Street in Motueka this morning.

I know Mott well.

I used to camp there all the time.

I think I know what you left behind.

I could have done with seeing that on the road when I was 15.

Congratulations, Motueka winner of this week's Community Page.

Yay!

From Chessing Nelson, we run different courses and tournaments.

And the courses, we run them in Nelson, Richmond, Mapua, and Motueka.

When we started running these kind of tournaments four years ago from Chessing Nelson, the attendance, the amount of participants were a little bit low.

There were between 10 to 20 people.

Hazy IPA, still at arm's length.

Brewed with Motueka.

He's holding it at arm's

length because he's going blind.

readers on, you'll be fine.

Yeah, sure thing.

Mosaic Citrus Simcoe Motueka.

It is 6%.

For us, though, we've got the New Zealand harvest has landed for us now.

So we've got three beers coming out that week, all making use of our two favourite New Zealand hops, Nelson Soban and Motueka.

um so so for us we're releasing three beers all dedicated to the harvest uh we'll have we'll have just got back from hop harvest in the us unfortunately the beers won't be the hops won't be with us but um yeah these these fresh fresh fresh harvest new zealand hops will taste amazing we've got these three beers that we we did the same last year um and then there's yeah other other people around the uh around the estate doing kind of yeah a little focus on on autumn and harvest it it's for me a really nice low pressure thing it's not a festival you don't need to buy a ticket

I'm going to be moving from my tiny home, from where I'm living now in the Lower Motadi, to auckland okay more on that coming soon it's also about the show and the resilience of the show is about people the audience members those of you who listen and who care about the topics and the content it's about supporting the show being a part of it in some way being able to contribute to its sustaining and at the moment i'm producing the show with an assistant producer it costs software and of course time and knowledge to be able to do this so we cannot continue with the homefulness show unless we get it funded so i'm going to be sharing with you about the upcoming homefulness show campaign on pledge me that we have where we're looking for all the support we can get And we're going to be tying this all into our bigger picture of how we can dream into the kind of housing that we want and what are the resources that we need to get there.

So currently I'm living in my tiny home, which is situated at the Riverside Community in Lower Moteri near Motueka.

I have loved living here.

This is an intentional community of about 30 families.

We're kicking off in the top of the electorate, in the Tasman bit.

This is the Motueka Weekend Market.

The only party with a stall here today are the Greens.

Lovely to meet you.

It's a New Zealand weight management startup which has raised $27 million from local investors, and that includes Auckland-based Icehouse Ventures, as well as KiwiSaver providers Generate and Booster.

Now, CaluCurb is the name of the company, and it makes tablets using a patented New Zealand extract that's grown from hops in Motueka, and it was actually discovered many years ago by Crown scientists.

The company says the extract stimulates the body's own appetite-suppressing hormones, so you perhaps might use it in replacement to things like, say, Wegovi.

Chief Executive Sarah Kennedy, she says that most of its revenue comes from the U.S. market at the moment, but it pays a royalty to the Crown for the use of that intellectual property they developed.
