Matthew is Vice Chairman of South African Organic Sector Organisation and Research Associate at the University of Johannesburg. He is involved in a number of areas in the food and agribusiness sector with a focus on project design, training, certification, and supply chain development for alternative markets.

"I applied to be a Champion because I want to grow as a practitioner in the sector in the areas of value chain development and agribusiness. There is a huge need to apply innovative solutions to the South African food system.

My ambition is to apply this knowledge to build the organic value chain in South Africa and expand market access opportunities to farmers in Africa. "

Agribusiness Academy says: "Matt has a great deal of experience in the sector as a professional and a trainer. We're excited to work with him in South Africa."
