Rob Pekin is the founder of Food Connect, a dynamic community supported agriculture enterprise with an innovative community-based distribution system. So put simply, they supply fresh, local, seasonal and ethical produce to the eaters! 

For more than 20 years, Rob has been challenging and transforming thefood and agricultural system in Australia. As a former organic dairy farmer and market gardener he has become known as a hands-on social entrepreneur working at the system’s end to help businesses pivot away from the not-so-good parts of our current food system.

We talk about the move to a fairer food system, and how individuals and households can play their part in the hugely important regenerative fair food movement:

  • Whether you’re interested in climate change, a new economy, collaborations - there are so many opportunities to be involved in a fairer food system
  • Community Supported Agriculture
  • The main concerns from consumers today when it comes to their food
  • Nutritional density in today’s food, and how to know if you’re eating nutritious food
  • Going beyond just organic food
  • Drawing on Indigenous knowledge to shape our future regenerative food system.
