The Industrialised Food System

Australia's industrialised food system is why I started Chooktopia.

Seeing the damage to soil, water, ecosystems, air quality and local economies from industrial food production, and the suffering is causes animals and people alike, was a non-optional call to action for my moral and scientific being.

I started small, buying free range and organic, worm farming and changing careers. This progressed into backyard chooks - rescues from factory farming, and we created "Chooktopia" from reclaimed and sustainable materials. 

This journey inspired Chooktopia the business - to share this passion with the rest of Australia, and to help give individuals and communities the skills to make the same informed choices that we had made...
... I started researching further - palm oil, mercury in the air from burning coal, greenwash, and genetic modification and the links between GMOs and cancers and other health problems, and the ecological destruction that is occuring as a result, and it just grew and grew.

So I've put these pages together to help share as much as I can to empower people to do something, or avoid something, or grow something - just to make their impact on the planet a positive one.
