Thomas is a future food specialist & international speaker who has been recognised as one of Australia’s most accomplished young pioneers. He has driven initiatives in conservation, climate education & poverty alleviation across five continents. Realising the impacts of industrial animal agriculture & limitations of the current food system to sustainably feed everyone, he founded Food Frontier, Australia’s independent think tank & industry accelerator for plant-based and cell-based meat.

Australia’s plant-based meat sector is on the cusp of massive expansion, set to contribute up to $3 billion to the nation’s economy and generate thousands of full-time Australian jobs by 2030, according to world-first economic modelling called Meat The Alternative: Australia’s $3 Billion Opportunity. It is the first analysis of its kind globally that quantifies the current and potential size of a plant-based meat sector and its impact on a national economy – Australia’s.
