Ronni Kahn AO is a profoundly impactful Australian social entrepreneur, author, and keynote speaker, widely recognized as the founder and CEO of OzHarvest, Australia's leading food rescue organization. As a tireless advocate against food waste and for food security, her work has had a profound and lasting impact on the lives of countless individuals and communities.
Prior to her career as a social entrepreneur, Ronni enjoyed a successful career in the events industry. However, her experience in this field ultimately led her to become deeply troubled by the staggering amount of food waste generated by her business. This realization sparked a desire within her to address this pressing issue, and she founded OzHarvest in 2004 with a single van.
With a strong passion for her mission, Ronni set out to rescue surplus food from businesses and deliver it to charities that feed people in need. This core objective of OzHarvest is to "Nourish our Country" by preventing good food from going to waste and providing it to individuals who are experiencing food insecurity.
