The connection between food and purpose
Meaningful work is a basic human desire. We ask ourselves, am I happy? Is my work a source of fulfillment?
The Business of Food is running a food incubator program to help small businesses and entrepreneurs take their existing recipe to a scalable new level. Learn how to create a product that can be sold at retail, café or restaurant locations. It was a program like this that helped Tully Chanana make his food business dreams come true.
“It was a moment for me to wake up, I can’t live like this for the rest of my life. If somebody asked me on my deathbed what did you do with your whole life, all I can tell them is I worked nine to five. I bought a house; I bought a car and I watched a lot of television. I want to say I made a difference in someone's life. This is my chance to make a difference.”
Tully started his enterprise to impact the health of people and the planet with his business for vegan takeaway meals, which thanks to the program is now a compliant food product ready for supermarkets. He’s since pivoted to create a range of Indian simmer sauces under the brand of Tully’z Kitchen.
Through The Business of Food Incubator Program, participants will have access to some of the best minds of the Australian food ecosystem. Incubator founder, Jane Del Rosso a food business coach with years’ of experience will share her extensive knowledge.

“Consider this an investment. If you're doing it for the right cause, if you're doing it for the right reason, if you have a purpose, and if you're creating value for the customer this investment will pay off sooner rather than later.” Past Program Participant - Tully Chanana – Kindness On A Plate, Takeaway Vegan Food
