Luke Williams

Luke Williams is a proud Gumbaynggirr man of northern NSW and currently holds a Research Fellow position at the Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation.  Luke’s research primarily focuses on the traditional uses of native Australian plants with an emphasis on understanding how traditionally used food plants can contribute to our modern food systems. This includes the promotion of traditional foods in Indigenous communities to improve food security and cultural wellbeing, through to supporting Indigenous businesses to lead the bush food industry, so that the nutritional and environmental benefits attributed to native plants can be enjoyed by all Australians.
