In this week’s episode of The Adelaide Show, we reflect on food security during a pandemic, with Juliet Tripodi and Anna Rugari from Rainbow Fresh, along with David Olney from the Blind Insights podcast talking about Sovereign Well-Being Capability so we can provide for ourselves in Australia during times like pandemics and war.
The SA Drink Of The Week is a magnificent Pinot Noir from New Zealand! Yes, don’t adjust your sets. It’s a long story that involves Ash Sinclair from Parade Cellars (who joins us) and Sam Neill from Two Paddocks wines.
And in the Musical Pilgrimage, we hear a new old song from Devil’s Cabaret, along with interviewing Gerry Masi about the song and a letter he received from Peter Goers on behalf of the band in 1994.

As Australians started panic buying during the emergence of Covid-19 restrictions, long shelf life foods were snapped up – things like canned tomatoes and pasta – and it got me thinking about whether or not you can stockpile fresh ingredients like spinach leaves. Which then got me pondering the importance of companies like Rainbow Fresh, as part of Australia’s food security infrastructure. So, I’ve invited Juliet Tripodi from Rainbow Fresh to join us, fresh from having put in a full day’s work and it’s only 10am. Your family has been producing lettuce and herbs at Lewiston in the Adelaide Plains since the 1970s. Had you ever thought about your business through the lens of food security? I heard today that grocery sales skyrocketed by 8% in March with April likely to be the same before the effects of panic buying taper off. Had demand jumped for your products, stayed steady, or dipped? You have pretty robust logistics set ups to get your products into stores and interstate quickly. How has Covid-19 restrictions affected you? Talking about the product being perishable, is it at all possible to stockpile a few extra bags of your product? What are your first memories of getting involved in market gardening? Do you actually enjoy getting mud on your fingers or poking fingers where there might be spiders or bugs? Any tips for home gardeners? Tell us a recipe that can use your products that might surprise us, or is a favourite? |
