Description
The Food Foundation Podcast takes you inside the UK’s fight against food insecurity, exposing the gaps, holding big food to account, and celebrating the initiatives that make a real difference. From the impact of nourishing school meals to getting more beans on plates, we tell the stories that shape communities and drive change.
We've also produced a six-part mini series about the benefits of Banging in Some Beans hosted by chef Melissa Hemsley.
The podcast, previously named Right2Food, won a 2021 Guild of Food Writers Award.
Producer: Gilly Smith for the Food Foundation
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
