About
The regeneration of Australia’s food and farming systems

Who is Sustainable Table?

At Sustainable Table, we are regenerating Australia’s farming, food and fibre systems from the ground up.

Change makers all over Australia are working on regenerative

regenerative

A regenerative approach is one that enables the regrowth, renewal or restoration of systems and relationships, including those that have been damaged or lost. In the words of Paul Hawken it, “...means putting life at the centre of every action and decision... and it applies equally to families, communities, cities, schools, religions, cultures, commerce and governments.”

solutions to the climate crisis and the social and environmental problems our farming, food and fibre systems face. These solutions are grounded in care for people and planet. Sustainable Table exists to fund these change makers, share their stories and cultivate regeneration.

Our Principles

8 principles underpin our work in regenerating Australian farming, food and fibre systems.

01

Transformative

We’re enabling the people and activities that will lead to the transformation of our food systems.

02

Regenerative

Whether it’s increasing biodiversity, building and enriching soil or replenishing human potential, regeneration is at the core of what we do.

03

Bioregional

Our work is grounded in the nuances and wisdom of place. We listen carefully to the people on the ground and follow the lead of natural ecosystems.

04

A Systems Lens

Our planet is a living and interconnected system made up of complex relationships. We always account for the bigger picture.

05

Decolonising

We work hard to unpack and challenge colonial structures in ourselves and our processes, while actively championing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander sovereignty and self-determination.

06

Relational

True wealth lies in relationships; the ways we connect, care for each other and collaborate. Our work is as much about rich and enduring relationships as it is about financial investment.

07

Open Source

Our learning is to be shared far and wide, available to everyone in order to inspire and inform.

08

Catalytic Capital

The capital we are deploying is rare, precious and urgently needed so our use of it is strategic and directed towards initiatives that catalyse systems change.
