Ngā Kaupapa o Hua Parakore is a hugely significant aspect of Hapi Ora both in inception and daily management practices, development work on this kaupapa being an important aspect of Gretta's professional life prior to the establishment of Hapī.
Further content for this section to be developed but in the meantime here are excerpts and links for the profiling of Hapi by Dr's Jessica Hutchings and Jo Smith in the research project "Storytelling Kaitiakiatanga: A Kaupapa Māori Land and Water Food Story: Hapi Clean Kai Co-op".
