In 2006, she co-created a start-up developing a car sharing service in Brisbane and after selling it in 2008, she joined Food Connect, a social enterprise aiming to create a world where everyone has access to healthy, fresh, ecologically-grown food that is fair to growers, eaters, and the planet. With Emma-Kate, we talked about the need to re-localise food production and distribution closer to cities, the challenges of managing a fair and sustainable food system in today’s political environment, the importance of trust, and how to turn climate despair intro creative energy.
