Episode notes
Feeding children well has benefits that are almost too numerous to count. But what if the children you are feeding lack the confidence or experience to try new foods. Taste Ed is a charity that offers a brilliant and effective solution. In this episode, I talk to Fran Box about what Taste Ed has to offer schools, community projects and families, to help their children develop a taste for good food. Hosted on Acast.

School Dinners
I'm sure we all have memories of school dinners - if you ever get the chance to visit a school in adulthood, two odours that will drag you straight back to childhood, floor polish and the dining hall. Some of us are old enough to remember school lunches before the food and nutritinal standards were repealed, and some of you may have attended at the height of the turkey twizzler craze. These days, apparently, school food standards are back. But with around 40% of primary schools, and over 80% of secondary schools run as academies, who is checking up. Actually the answer is effectively no-one.…

How, and what, we teach the next generation about food is a mammoth subject, so expect us to return to this issue more than once. But for now, we are going to dive straight into middle. this is where we address past failures; and face that one last chance to put things right, before adulthood. In this episode I talk to 2 different guests, who are both delivering food eduction to young people (by which I mean around 16-25 years old) in non-formal educational; settings. Hosted on Acast.

Fairtrade
No market is perfect, and when it comes to the international food trade, any well considered examination must conclude that it is not equitable, even when examined under the most free market ethos. We can either rail against these iniquities, or we can do something about it. In this month's podcast we're going to talk about an organisation that is doing something about, and enables us to do something, about it too. I met Joanna Fianu when she came over to Hull to talk about both Fairtrade and some of her own projects. She was an inspiration, as is the work Fairtrade do- it's one of the…

Food Crime
Do we really know where our food comes from? Can we guarantee how is is grown, how it is processed and what it actually contains? Once a supply chain becomes so long that no-one can see from one end to the other, there are opportunities to game the system, or worse. Food Crime is comes in several forms, it ranges from mis-labeling or substituting for cheaper ingredients all the way to using ingredients that harm consumers, or producing food in a way that abuses the workers. In this month's episode we talk with Alice Rizzuti, lecturer in criminology at the University of Hull - about the…

Ultra Local Organic Food
I think we all love the idea of locally grown organic food, freshly harvested and delivered to our door. But what does it take to make this happen. Is it scaleable; is it even viable. I took a tour of one of only a handful of local organic market gardens in our region. If you are interested in the case studies behind the podcast, you can find the original recordings at our youtube channel: Veg Cities Hull, or the edited write-ups on our website Hosted on Acast.
