Love In The Time Of Corona: Stories of community support through food
Sheila Dillon and Dan Saladino hear inspirational tales of food support in the Covid-19 outbreak - and consider how these strategies might shape the country’s food system in future
Every day, with the UK on 'lock-down' as part of government measures to halt the spread of Covid-19, we're hearing inspirational tales of community groups and volunteer services springing up to help others - very often, through food.
Over the course of this programme, Sheila Dillon and Dan Saladino - chatting remotely from their respective lock-down locations - hear from just a small selection of the incredible community efforts going on across the country, supporting the most vulnerable during the outbreak: from delivering essentials to the ill and the elderly, confined to their homes; to providing meals for hospital staff working long shifts in Intensive Care Units; to supporting children missing out on their regular free school dinners.
This episode is not only a recognition of the ingenious solutions being found - but also looks at how these local strategies, developed in response to a national crisis, could help change our food system for the better in future.
Presented by Sheila Dillon and Dan Saladino, and produced in Bristol by Lucy Taylor.
