In this episode, I was lucky enough to sit down and chat with Kylie Newberry. Kylie is grateful to call Brisbane home and loves spending time outdoors. At Our Food System, Kylie inspires and empowers people to believe they have the power to transform the food system. She does this by building the food citizenship movement; influencing change at the household, community, and policy level, facilitating a more democratic food system. 

In this episode, our conversations travelled far and wide, but regularly coming back to talk about the citizen-led model of food systems change known as ‘Food Citizenship’. Kylie spoke of the significant impacts that food citizens can make through their food choices by harnessing the power of their dollar to use it for good, and to tell retailers what they truly care about. She shared insights on a vision she put forward for Brisbane as a Food City, which was a submission to the Rockefeller Foundation Food System vision Prize.
