WHO ARE WE
Climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing the world today. It is our shared belief that we should all be part of the solution. As a result in 2019 Justin & Jodie Omodei partnered with Bendotti Avocado to initiate EcoAvo Australia’s first carbon neutral Avocado!
Together we are the creators of a brand of sustainably grown avocados. Our product reflects our joint passion for the responsible production of food that supports and nurtures the environment. Our aim is to offset more emissions than we generate and lead the way in how businesses adapt to climate change. Our avocado is set to show that high-quality produce can be grown without leaving a large carbon footprint.
We are pioneering a new way of farming our world class produce to ensure a better future for generations to come and hope to inspire other farming sectors to follow in our steps.
