Circular Indigenomics enriches current circular economy theory by integrating Māori and other Indigenous perspectives, philosophies, and practices.

It emphasizes the interconnectedness of humans and the environment, recognizes the depletion of cultural resources for Indigenous peoples, and aims to regenerate both cultural and environmental wellbeing.

By incorporating a Cultural Nutrient Cycle alongside the biological and technical cycles, Circular Indigenomics seeks to create a more holistic, inclusive, and sustainable approach to resource management and economic systems.
