Ronni Kahn AO is one of the most inspirational women you’ll ever meet. A passionate social entrepreneur, author and activist, Ronni is the founder and CEO of food rescue charity, Oz Harvest - an organization that fights food waste and feeds hungry people all over Australia.

Originally from South Africa, where she experienced the brutal reality of apartheid, she was raised in a socialist commune in Israel before finally moving to Australia, and finding an incredibly different way of life. Years later, as the owner of a successful events company, Ronni hit mid-life and became acutely aware of the amount of food that was being wasted at each event. As a way to mitigate the issue, she began hand delivering the untouched food to homeless shelters, and from this initial action, Oz Harvest was born, and so too was Ronni’s mission and life purpose.

Oz Harvest has now provided 195 million meals to hungry people, and is a powerful force in combatting Australia’s food waste issue, meaning that not only has Ronni created a social organization, but also an environmental one that’s making a tangible difference to the health of our planet.
