What problem are you solving?: Native food demand is booming in city kitchens, but growers on Country capture almost none of the value and supply is unreliable.
Who does it help?: First Nations growers, ranger groups and chefs who want traceable native ingredient.
What is the innovation?: A grower network with shared nursery stock, shared drying capacity and a single traceable supply line to market.
What are your barriers?: Cold chain and drying capacity; buyers wanting year-round volume from seasonal Country.
What do you need?: Drying and packing capacity, a traceability system, and long-term buyers.
Would you like to collaborate?: Yes — with anyone who can help us hold value on Country instead of shipping it south raw.
