The Food Innovators

Dan Saladino explore three big ideas set to influence the future of our food and farming: the reinvention of wheat, supplying wild meat to hospitals and taste education for kids.

Dan Saladino explore three big ideas that are set to influence the future of food and farming: the reinvention of wheat, supplies of wild meat into hospital kitchens and 'taste education' for children.

Each one is a contender in this year's Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Food and Farming Awards, in the innovation category. Dan heads into a forest to see how the cull of a growing deer population is resulting in better hospital food. He visits a team of crop scientists who are taking wheat back in time and through its evolutionary history to create greater diversity and resilience. And inside a classroom he hears how the charity TasteEd is transforming the relationship children have with food and flavours.

Produced and presented by Dan Saladino.
