Food is part of everyone's lives. How that meal gets to our table depends on a large, complex and interweaving system. It includes growing, distribution and commerce, health provision government and community action, culture, and so much more. Join me as I attempt to unpick, and mull over all aspects of this system. I'll be joined by guest who are experts in their individual fields, but all passionate about the system that feeds our bodies, and sometimes our souls too.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that many of the listeners to this podcast will have a fair idea of what a community food organisation is, and what is does. Some of you at least will work for one. But for those of you less familiar with what they are and how they do it , prepare for a bit of a deep dive into the whys and wherefores of a sector that has increased massively; in numbers, and in social importance, over recent years.
For those of you most familiar with this sector, it is always worth listening to another story. Because you know what they say, if you've met one community provider , then you've met just one community provider. The problems may be the same, but the solutions are as varied as they are inventive.EMS is a charity that has worked to reduce food and fuel poverty in Hull and the surrounding area for over 25 years.
If, as you listen to this interview, it sounds vaguely familiar, they were finalists in the BBC Food and Farming awards in 2022. They also appear regularly in the national media and just this year won a BBC make a difference award.
The keen eared among you may also realise that the John, who is mentioned at some point, appeared as a guest in episode 8.
