Fashion brands come under severe scrutiny when it comes to sustainability efforts. And rightly so when you see the aftermath of product destruction, and disposable mountains, and lack of corporate responsibility taken in the process overall. Yet how does this modality change when you go from fast fashion to brand names that create and define…

Competition in the Food Industry
A Supply Chain Analysis of the Meat Industry Within the food industry is a web of complexities in which we (the consumers) are often inept to the number of challenges it faces. Speculation of the industry seems to have created a harsh bias, breaking the industry as a whole into one conglomerate, not a web…
The Nestle’ Climate Approach
Climate change is such a hot topic and button pusher these days it is hard to separate the bias from the information, and the drama from the conspiracy. While I abhor large companies, especially food companies that endanger human health due to ignorance and greed, it must be acknowledged that this is the reality of…
That Bit about Monsanto and Bayer
This is a combination of 2 separate college works, over 2 different years, where I was analysing product marketing in one, and an analysis of how a company goes international in another. It started with looking for information on how a company with such a bad reputation can continue to market its products. Upon further…
Everything you need: Taco’s
Nothing personifies happiness like a warm wrap smothered in spicy beef and cheese, or a plate a tortilla chips piled high with all the fixings. We write songs about them (It’s Raining Taco’s), dedicate days of the week to them (Taco Tuesday!!!), and if your me, dedicate at minimum one meal a week to them…
Meat Packers, Globalization, and Food System Corruption
What does economics, technology, business, and politics have to do with food you may ask? Everything.

Lett-uce Be Free
First off: Yes, this is a bad Corona-V pun and it was 50% unintentional and 50% I have no shame and lots of bad jokes bubbling up from too many days of being anti-social and having conversations with my dog… Secondly: I don’t know about you but last weeks heat has got me craving all…
Improving Food and Agriculture Sustainably
It is impossible to be interested in food without having an interest in agriculture, and for me, the passion is fuelled by an interest in both. To challenge one without knowledge of the other is often futile, and in today’s world the correct knowledge is hard to find. Often times agriculture is used as a…
Foraging for the Wild Things
In light of current events it’s looking more and more like my childhood dreams of survival and apocalyptic adventures could actually come true. Sadly I’m not 12 anymore, so the reality is far more scary than that, but the part of me that wants to be that age again is enjoying practising my wild foraging…
Divided Breakfast Omelette
Sometimes I forget that the ways I combine food and how I cook are new concepts to some people because I have been using my methods for so long… And it is only because of moving and travelling that I am reminded of my reasons and purpose for sharing my story and knowledge. Several years…
