Finding a Food Champion
Meet the people determined to revolutionise what and how we eat as we launch our hunt for a global food champion.
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鈥檒l also hear form our international panel of judges on their reasons for shortlisting the final four, and a slam poet鈥檚 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.
