Kelly Johnson is the creator of SPhiker, an agribusiness dedicated to sustainability, innovation and supporting rural communities by creating eco-conscious, shelf-stable meals tailored for outdoor enthusiasts. As one of the only 100% sustainably made and packaged hiking meal brands on the market, SPhiker champions responsible consumption by transforming surplus and second-grade produce direct from South Australian farmers into nutritious, ready-to-eat meals.
Aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, including Zero Hunger, Responsible Consumption and Climate Action, SPhiker aims to close the circular economy loop. By rescuing produce that might otherwise go to waste, the business supports local agriculture, reduces food waste and fosters environmentally responsible practices.
Over the next year, SPhiker will strengthen rural economies and provide farmers with a consistent market for surplus produce. Recently winning the Premier’s Food and Beverage Award for Sustainability, SPhiker has solidified its position as a leader in sustainable outdoor food solutions. This initiative is not just about meals—it’s about setting a new standard for sustainable hike products.
