Description
Alliance to Feed the Earth in Disasters (ALLFED) is a nonprofit organization with two primary objectives: 1) to identify, pilot, and prepare resilient food alternatives, in the event that a catastrophe damages conventional food supplies 2) to help governments and communities implement these solutions during a global food shock As devastating as catastrophes are, the threat of a global catastrophe is not just the initial destruction, but also the impact it could have on food supplies and distribution. We aim to minimize the damage of a global catastrophe by ensuring that the people continue to have access to nutritious food, during and after the catastrophe. Kevin has almost a decade of experience in for-purpose organisations and start-ups, working in the areas of international development, global health, and education. He has worked in engineering, operations, strategy, teaching, and coaching roles over his career. Away from his day job, he can be found on the athletics track and is an Australian representative 400m sprinter and income pledging athlete with High Impact Athletes.
