OUR STORY
Tupuna Pai was founded with the vision of merging traditional wisdom with cutting-edge technology. The name itself means "Good Ancestor," reflecting our mission to create a future where the land is managed ethically and sustainably. Our journey began on the East Coast of New Zealand, inspired by the values and principles of indigenous culture, particularly the Māori philosophy of kaitiakitanga—guardianship and stewardship of the environment.
OUR MISSION
Empowering Agriculture Through Tradition & Technology.
We aim to transform land management by integrating advanced AI with indigenous knowledge, ensuring that every decision made on the land is not only data-driven but also culturally and ethically grounded.

What we do?
Tupuna Pai offers an AI-powered platform that helps land stewards—such as farmers and agricultural organisations—make decisions that are efficient, sustainable, and aligned with their core values. By integrating indigenous knowledge into the decision-making process, we offer a unique blend of tradition and innovation. Our platform provides insights into soil health, crop management, and ethical practices, guiding users to make choices that benefit the land, the community, and future generations.
Our Approach
-
AI Integration: We use advanced AI to analyse data from various sources, providing actionable insights for efficient and sustainable farming practices
-
Indigenous Knowledge: Our platform respects and integrates indigenous knowledge, viewing the land as more than just a resource—it's a living entity that must be cared for and preserved
-
Ethical Decision-Making: We guide farms and organisations in making choices that align with their mission and values, ensuring actions are beneficial to both the environment and the community
Respect for Indigenous Knowledge
At Tupuna Pai, we treat indigenous knowledge as a treasure (taonga), integrating it into our platform with the utmost care and respect. We believe in combining this knowledge with AI in a way that honours its cultural significance, ensuring it guides decision-making processes with integrity. Our commitment is to use this wisdom responsibly, enhancing the ethical and sustainable management of the land.
