Lisa Redmond is the founder of Lemonshare, an on-line platform for sharing homegrown food, reducing waste and connecting neighbours. 

'...across Australia, millions of people grow fruit, vegetables and herbs at home. Much of this produce is grown with care, without pesticides or chemical sprays, but when there is no easy way to share that surplus, perfectly good food is left to rot, composted, or thrown away.'

'The current food system is highly efficient at moving large volumes of produce through supermarkets, but it struggles with small, local surpluses. A lemon tree, a productive zucchini plant, or a backyard herb garden does not fit neatly into commercial supply chains'.
