Pod Bites: Communities driving change

Matthew Thomson from Sustainable Food Cornwall tells us about From The Ground Up, a report from the Citizens Advisory Council's What Works Here inquiries into local food systems.The Citizen Advisory Council comprises diverse citizens drawn the Food Foundation’s Food Ambassadors programme and from Food and Farming Countryside Commission's The Food Conversation. The Citizen Advisory Council has been working with the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs since the summer of 2025 to ensure that citizen knowledge is embedded in the development of England’s food strategy. The Citizen Advisory Council travelled to four different regions in England for the What Works Here Inquires: Cornwall, York and North Yorkshire, Liverpool and Merseyside, and the North East. Keenan Humble, mentioned in the Pod Bite, is Director for Feeding Liverpool and supported with the Liverpool and Merseyside inquiry. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
