Executive Director Robert Oliver, says a Joint Steering Committee which is made up of national and regional health representatives from the Pacific will guide these food warriors.

 “You will be kept up to date with everything, with what the revolution is doing, recipes, insights, knowledge and there will be a section where people start sharing their whole stories. It will be an interactive visual food space.”

 Oliver says barriers to healthy eating such as convenience, taste and affordability are some of the areas the Revolution tries to address.
