In search of a food champion
The Food Chain examines the business, science and cultural significance of food, and what it takes to put food on your plate.
From tackling poverty and hunger, to maggot farming, to harnessing the power of seaweed - since 2017, The Food Chain has been celebrating and rewarding innovation in food. This year, as part of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Food and Farming Awards, we're looking for a new champion who is trying to change the way we deal with our food.
With the launch of our 2022 award, Ruth Alexander catches up with two previous winners, school meals project the Akshaya Patra Foundation, and Gabriella D’Cruz, marine conservationist, to find out how their work has progressed and how they are navigating huge global challenges like climate change, the Covid-19 pandemic and rising food prices.
Do you know a remarkable person aged 18-30 who’s challenging the way we think about food? Nominate them for our Global Youth Champion Award 2022.

The deadline for nominations has been extended to 23:00 GMT on Thursday, 18th August 2022.
