Food Justice Warrior Dee Woods explains the need for a fairer food system, the problem with food banks and why you can’t discuss household food insecurity without discussing human rights, economics and health. Dee describes herself as a “food actionist” and believes that just talking won’t create change. 

Dee co-founded the Granville Community Kitchen cooperative in Kilburn as a hub for serving her local community: from growing veg in the community garden, to teaching cookery skills – a role that led to her being named BBC Food and Farming Cook of the Year in 2016. Dee also sits on the London Food Board and Food Ethics Council, is a visiting research associate at Coventry University, and is the co-editor of A People’s Food Policy and is a member of Community Food Growers Network (CFGN).
