What we choose to put in our shopping baskets today shapes the future of our food — from variety and quality to health and environmental outcomes.

Matthew Evans joins Kate and Tracey this week on The Curious Cooks, from Fat Pig Farm in Tasmania’s Huon Valley.

What happens when a chef trades stainless steel for soil? 🌿

Matthew Evans’ story is one of transformation: from city kitchens to a thriving farm, from critic to advocate. He’s now one of Australia’s most articulate voices for regenerative farming and food system change.

On The Curious Cooks, Kate and Tracey chat with Matthew about why we must reconnect with where our food comes from — before it’s too late.
