Matthew Evans is a Tasmanian food writer, television broadcaster and chef who lives and works on Fat Pig Farm, a soil-to-stomach regenerative farm and restaurant.

He’s been the host of six series of Gourmet Farmer and two documentaries on SBS TV.

Matthew is the author of over a dozen books on food, including the On Eating Meat, and The Commons.

His latest book SOIL is a hymn to the remarkable, and underappreciated bit of Earth that gifts us life.

Matthew Evans speaks passionately about the myriad ways that food and farming can frame the future, including food security, soil health and the sequestration of carbon through regenerative methods.

His farming choices are underpinned by a drive for high ethical standards for the land, for the animals, and for the community that drives it all. Fat Pig Farm regularly hosts education programs teaching ways to make farming more sustainable, ethical, productive and conscious.
