    Affording the right to eat

    Affording the right to eat

    This episode shines a light on food availability and affordability, and the role that individuals, charities, and community groups play in making meals available for the 14 million people in the UK – 4 million of them children - who are struggling to eat. Farm businesses up and down the country are going beyond their commitment to food production by initiating incredible work that supports their local communities to eat, and to eat well. This is a celebration of just how key farming and farmers are to looking after those around them. We at BASF are incredibly proud to share these stories. We spoke to farmers Andrew Stirling and Sally Mercer whose families supply charities and community organisations with surplus food to alleviate hunger and to support people in understanding food health and cooking from scratch. We also sat down with Ali Gourley from food redistribution charity, FareShare's, Public Affairs and Policy team to hear more about their campaign to source unharvested produce direct from farmers’ fields – at no cost to the farm. 

    Ending Food Poverty While Stopping Food Waste - Free My Meal Founder Hayley Steere | PEP Talk S3 E8

    Ending Food Poverty While Stopping Food Waste - Free My Meal Founder Hayley Steere | PEP Talk S3 E8

    Former single mum Hayley Steere began Free My Meal during Lockdown in 2020, after having a brainwave while seeing how much extra food she had cooked that she wouldn’t eat. She knew lots of people would LOVE to receive a good meal in these tough times, so she set out to create a platform that would allow people to give their spare food to those who need it. That same evening, Free My Meal was born.

    Free My Meal is a simple and easy exchange, based on trust and goodwill. Using social media, people sign up to private Free My Meal groups as a ‘recipient’ or a ‘cook’, or in some cases, both. Free My Meal does not provide meals, it simply forms connections enabling people to find one. 

    Free My Meal currently has 70+ UK and international groups, and they have 27,000+ group members which continue to grow in numbers every day. To support her family while growing her organisation, Hayley juggles numerous jobs and side-hustles at the same time as focusing on Free My Meal. In this episode, Simon and Hayley discuss how you can pursue a life that you love despite the challenges you may face.

    “The world’s not going to give you a living, you’ve got to go and make that yourself. Nobody is going to pluck you out of obscurity and give you your lovely life.”

    Topics:

    • How Free My Meal Began
    • How Free My Meal Works
    • How do you manage to juggle everything?
    • Work/Life balance
    • Mindset and drive

Bhawani Singh Shekhawat is the Chief Executive of The Akshaya Patra Foundation UK. The Foundation started 20 years ago in India, to tackle the dual issues of classroom hunger and access to education for disadvantaged children.

Its work has been recognised by the World Economic Forum, it has been formulated as a Case Study at Harvard Business School and in 2019 the Foundation received the BBC Global Food Champion Award.

    Ep 44: Giving Food Another Life, with City Harvest

    Ep 44: Giving Food Another Life, with City Harvest

    This episode we’re joined by Laura Winningham, CEO of City Harvest London. 

    City Harvest puts surplus food to good use in a sustainable way. 

    While thousands of Londoners go hungry each day, safe, healthy, usable food is being disposed of. City Harvest collects this from all segments of the food industry and delivers it to 300 organisations that provide meals to vulnerable people. These include homeless shelters, soup kitchens, childrens' programs, centres for the elderly, and refuges for women experiencing domestic violence.

    This is good for society and the planet in several ways! It saves the services’ money, freeing up funds for vital services. It saves restaurants money. And it diverts food from landfill where it would release greenhouse gases. 

    With Laura, we learn more about the issues of food poverty and food surplus. We also find out how City Harvest is continuing to operate on the frontline during the COVID-19 pandemic. What is the impact of this crisis on the needs of people? What is the impact on food surplus? What is the impact on operations for City Harvest?
