🎤🎙️In this month's thefoodpeople I was pleased to be asked by Charles Banks for Women In The Food Industry to be the subject of their "In Conversation with..." podcast. We cover the big topic of addressing equality within the food industry and trailblazing women in food! There's a LOT of ground to cover - but the main points in our conversation include: 💡The obstacles that need to be removed to drive towards equality 💡How the landscape has shifted over the years - attitudes are changing... 💡How collaboration is better than competition & the roles men can play to get involved 🌟During the conversation with Charles, I mention how Asma Khan of Darjeeling Express has been a constant source of inspiration, & how her powerful response to being Netflix's first Brit in the award-winning The Chefs' Table and her continual championing of equality directly led to our work. 🙏We also talk about the work of other early supporters of Women In The Food Industry & amazing trailblazers such as Chantelle Nicholson of Apricity Restaurant, & Sally Abe of Conrad London St. James, The Pem Restaurant & how their work shows there is always another way to managing hospitality, & successful kitchens by having consideration for staff & showing empathy to situations & life experiences particular to women - which will eventually lead to cultural change. 🍷Charles also asked whether the wine industry has similar issues with diversity, equality & inclusion, which led me to talk about the recent coming together of the drinks industry prompted by Queena Wong's extensive research with PROOF Insight which showed that 78% of the women who took part in the research felt that sexism and gender bias is a major problem in the UK wine industry. 📅 We end with how people can get involved with Women In The Food Industry & I speak about some of our upcoming events & collaborative projects with many organisations including: Cookery School at Little Portland Street, The Sustainable Restaurant Association, KERB Food, The Craft Guild of Chefs & The Nationwide Caterers Association (NCASS) (thanks to Rosalind Rathouse, Juliane Caillouette Noble, Priya Narain, Karen Winter (Fewell), Alison Cullin-Woodcock & Rukhsana Bentley for starting these partnerships off). We have more upcoming, so watch this space! Collaboration, not competition is KEY to everything we do at Women In The Food Industry There's a snippet in the clip below, but you can listen to the full conversation from your favourite podcast channel from the link below where there's also an option to watch our conversation on YouTube https://lnkd.in/dRE3KZfq #diversity #equality #inclusion #womeninthefoodindustry #podcast

🔦 Spotlight on #WomenInAg 👩🌾 👩🔬 For the next feature in this series, we spoke to Liz Shackleton, Chief Executive Officer at Animal and Plant Health NZ. Read on for her perspective on better representation in the agriculture and science sector. ➡ Q1. What do you enjoy the most about your work with CropLife Asia? We have a Māori proverb in #NewZealand, He aha te mea nui? Māku e kii atu, he tāngata, he tāngata, he tāngata. What is the most important thing in the world? It is people, it is people, it is people. This is an incredible industry to be part of because our people’s work in #science and #food enables and empowers communities to thrive. Crop Life Asia’s work strongly aligns with our vision here at Animal and Plant Health NZ, which is ‘Healthy crops and healthy animals safeguard our sustainability’. ➡ Q2. How do you think your work contributes to women’s empowerment in agriculture and science? Science and agriculture are underpinned by curiosity, diverse thought and giving things a crack. However, the reality is that many of our decision-making tables still miss out on the ideas of half the population. There’s a saying that we can’t be what we can’t see. Visible female leadership increases our representation in decision-making. We are strongly placed to act and shape traditional work models into a more flexible system that enables everyone to find the right balance. After all, if we don’t like the path we’re on, it’s up to us as leaders to forge a new one - by making a dent in the statistics one person at a time. Animal and Plant Health New Zealand is very proud to have an emerging leaders cohort within our membership, whom we engage, connect with and empower. Our female leaders have a critical role in wisdom transfer for our industry, blending old and new experiences to bring the best of both worlds to the next generation. Sharing our knowledge shows other women the opportunities available to them. Each day also brings opportunities to lift other women up, including making space for our voices at decision tables, advocating for our expertise, and providing encouragement. ➡ Q3. Why is closing the gender gap important for the agricultural sector and with crop production in particular? It’s a simple equation: Equal pay for equal work equals human rights for half the population. Being in science-based professions, we are in a prime position to enable positive change, as reviewing, reporting our results, and adjusting accordingly, is in our DNA. As leaders we can also ask the question: How do the norms of leadership effect our inclusion (or exclusion) of women? Are those norms what we want for our own daughters and granddaughters? There is already some great New Zealand research to explore solutions in this space, like the work of Dr. Amanda Sterling.

Beer. Developed, cultured and perfected by women 🍺 From ancient mesopotamia and Ninkasi (the goddess of brewing), beer and women have always been inextricably linked. In 14th century England, women were primarily responsible for brewing and selling ale. So an exploration into why beer has such a 'male' reputation is not only necessary, but really effing bloody interesting. As Sacha Harvey says, these conversations aren't just about elevating women's presence right now, it's about holding space and creating space for the women who aren’t in the room yet. I posted earlier this week about actually DOING the thing, changing your processes and putting in the work beyond your socials this week to demonstrate commitment to equity, so I loved hearing from Emma Heal about what Lucky Saint | B Corp™ do in this space. The living and breathing includes: ✅ Role Modelling flexible workplaces and living it (Think 9 in 10 patterns, 4 day weeks etc) ✅ OPEN DIARIES. Committed to a school drop off? It's in the diary and you best believe nobody expects you to move it. ✅ An increased focus on mental health, doing what they can, where they can, to support and enable their people. Mary Slot hit the nail on the head when discussing the power of role models and allies, saying "When you have more women in senior leadership, the organisation will perform better and have better social responsibility." Rachel Auty stole my heart with her work around mentoring, marketing, and women in beer. She shared stories around “The Brave Noise Movement”, which highlighted the processes that sit behind 'bad behaviour' and how this is helping people take action. Women On Tap CIC has a five point manifesto (i.e. being safe in drinking spaces, connecting/ learning/ exploring, representation, professional development and opening doors for women etc) - a tangible, actionable commitment to behaviour change in the industry. Brew York .... I think I love you. Liz Hemus talked passionately about raising visibility and taking action through DEI groups. It's the power of lived experience and holding space for people’s valid and vulnerable stories that really makes all the difference. And Pooja Patel... this world would be a freaking poorer place without your energy in it. "When women are in the position of power, they will create opportunities for other women. You can change mindset and policies- but you need to change things structurally. It inspires people." THIS is the action. THIS is what we want to see more of. And a beautiful quote from the Lucky Saint | B Corp™ team to close us out, “Instead of calling people out, call them in because they are probably trying their best.” I'm feeling inspired, optimistic, and like a group of incredible women have collectively kicked the world up the ass to take action. LOVE this. Cheers 🍻 #womeninbeer #brewing #marketing #iwd2024

It's a big month here at Bennetto Natural Foods co; it’s B Corp month, and today, it’s International Women’s Day. In honour of these events, I wanted to give a big shout-out to the other female founders of B Corp businesses in Aotearoa, New Zealand. I’m proud to be one of them. International Women's Day brings awareness to the unique challenges and differences women face, including gender bias and discrimination when pitching to investors, stereotypes to overcome, limited networking and access to mentors, and the struggle to balance work and home life. Despite research-based statistics showing women-owned businesses tend to outperform, they receive less funding than male-owned businesses. However, what makes it all worth it is the compassion and community-focus that women bring into business. Kiwi women of the B Corp world are making a real and important difference. For instance, Kendall Flutey of Banqer is empowering kids to be financially literate and ready for the modern world. Brianne West, co-founder of Ethique and soon-to-launch Incrediballs, is waging a one-woman war on single-use plastic bottles, while Peri. Drysdale and Gosia Piatek of Untouched World and Kowtow Clothing, respectively, are driving the change that the fashion industry needs. I'm also inspired by Latesha Randall of Raglan Food Co, who is a great mentor to me personally, along with the Chia Sisters, Chloe and Florence Van Dyke, Michele Wilson of AWWA Period care, and the founders of Hello Period™, Robyn McLean and Mary Bond, who are taking on the big boys of traditional (and environmentally harmful) period products. And then there's Gillian Boucher of sustainable footwear brand Orba Shoes – shoes that you can bury, and they'll completely biodegrade. I have two pairs and love them! There are many more amazing female founders of B Corp businesses in Aotearoa and the rest of the world. Please feel free to give them a shout-out in the comments.

I’m not a fan of this International Women’s Day- obviously I am a strong advocate for women and utilize my powerful voice without hesitation, I just hate to give any lip service to the tokenism that I tend to see drain out of our industry on the subject. I tend to be less positive about the situation than most are, still not seeing much real power and equity in the hands of women. That is the change I focus on. That's why I come and play on this day. It’s not that I don’t see progress. I do see lots of noticeable changes, it’s the hesitancy toward change that is disheartening for me. The reluctance, in my view, exemplifies a form of malevolence that has a direct impact on the financial well-being of farmers and farming communities. impact on farmers. This year’s theme (a theme???) is inclusion. Everything we “seem” to care so deeply about can be “cured” with inclusion. Trying to be positive in the only way I know how, by being truthful, this year I've chosen to focus on the culinary expertise of women, highlighting my own personal story and history of not being taken seriously for the culinary work Ive done in produce. This culinary work, that is widely dominated by women, is a critical, yet often overlooked aspect of our predominantly male-dominated industry. Our industry needs to place more emphasis the fact that our products are consumed- which means, shopped for, prepared and cooked. Women often possess unparalleled knowledge in this domain, yet their expertise largely remains untapped. I illustrate this point through a personal story about organic ginger, emphasizing that women's culinary prowess can significantly influence profitability and sustainability within our industry. It’s not lost on me, that I am placing women in the kitchen, but I’m doing so thoughtfully, not like the way Katie Britt was put in the kitchen. Like most women, I am in the kitchen, in the office, in the field and in the grocery store. I am everywhere all the time, as most women have to be. Sounds like a superhero.....
