Excellent share Jonathan. Personally, I volunteer my time in my sweet spot of commercialising innovations in the AgriFood industry (through boards, speaking, mentoring, coaching) and find it very rewarding as I get to meet so many different people, learn from their experiences and of course share mine which hopefully makes an impact in their lives, organisations and communities.

Australian and New Zealand Paired Kidney Exchange Is going gang busters at increasing the number of kidneys donated / transplant patients into people that need them. Last year was a record year with 1/5 of all living kidney donors came from this program. The program allows friends and family who want to donate a kidney to a loved one but aren't a good medical match, to be paired with others in the same situation. The exchange also accepts donations from altruistic donors.Here is a program doing real good for those with kidney disease requiring a transplant.https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-02-27/australia-kidney-disease-donor-transplant/103488392?
