Meet Felix Brooks Church, a social entrepreneur who co-invented a small machine known as a "dosifier," which adds lifesaving nutrients to the staple food of communities in southern Africa. Felix and his team at SANKU have installed over 800 machines in local mills and are on a mission to reach 100 million people by 2030.

In this conversation Felix shares his journey from rising gridiron star to inventor and how he dragged his machine across the borders of African countries to test it in local mills. He talks us through the impact of "hidden hunger" and the simple but powerful technology that could eventually end malnutrition, and the potential of fortified maize flour to create a more abundant future.
