Excerpt:
Green Connect recovers waste, grows fair food, and employs former refugees and young people. We do this with our community.
Green Connect is a social enterprise – a different kind of business. We recover waste and grow fair food. And we train, support, employ and tap into the ideas and talents of former refugees and
young people. We do this with our community.
100% of our income is invested in these aims.
Last year Green Connect employed 114 former refugees and young people, recovered 1,462 tonnes of waste, and grew and distributed 7,268 kilograms of local, seasonal, chemical free food.
Through this work we help create a fair and resilient food system, reduce waste and build a more empowered community.
