Pod Bites: Scaling up community projects

On this week's Pod Bite, Dr Gemma Bridge, research fellow at the University of Leeds tells us about the scaling up and out place-based food initiatives project that a team from the University of Leeds has conducted in collaboration with the Food Foundation.Place-based community led food initiatives include food banks, social supermarkets, community cafes and community supported food growing schemes and play crucial roles in developing community led place based food systems. They help local people access affordable and healthy food support, physical and mental well being through community activities and enhance financial resilience for employment opportunities. Listen out for more on this exciting initiative in collaboration with the Food Foundation coming soon to this podcast.Click here for more information on the project, and here for the Food Foundation Manifesto Hosted on Acast.

Om Podcasten

The Food Foundation podcast is the voice of the charity that tackles the growing challenges facing the UK’s food. Reporting from the frontline of food insecurity, it reveals the gaps in the food system and the inspiring initiatives that are fixing them. From the stigma of free school meals to the enormous impact of holiday activities on hungry children, we find the stories that change lives, bind communities and make the politicians sit up and listen.Producer: Gilly Smith for the Food Foundation Hosted on Acast.
