The Food Chain

Finding a Food Champion


Listen Later

Meet the people determined to revolutionise what and how we eat as we launch our first ever international award.

We hear about the four shortlisted projects hoping to be named The Food Chain Global Champion, including an insect-based cooking oil, a beekeeper empowering women in northern India, a maggot-based animal feed, and a global movement seeking to transform food and agriculture.

We’ll also hear form our international panel of judges on their reasons for shortlisting the final four, and a slam poet’s verdict in verse.

The Food Chain Global Food Champion Award recognises a person or project whose work in the economics, science, or culture of food has (or has the potential to have), a global impact on how we produce, process, consume or think about food and drink. The winner will be revealed later this month.

Presenter: Emily Thomas
