This week we chat with Kirt Hainzer, a CQUniversity agriculture researcher with a special interest in agricultural value chains of developing economies who is currently working in Papua New Guinea. We hear how this son of an Austrian chef developed an interest in food from living in the back of restaurants in Australia and later volunteering at OzHarvest to help reduce food waste. We learn that on his first solo travel experience at the age of 13 he went AWOL from school in Austria and spent two months enjoying a London summer. We also hear how he later created edible landscapes for celebrities in LA. We also discover how his love of travel (especially in the driver's seat of a VW van) has shaped his career direction.
