  • Groundwork Meat Buying Club
    Mar 17 2026

    There is a circle in the food system that we are desperate to square. How do we ensure that farmers get paid a fair price while at the same time ensuring that food is more affordable.One example of this conundrum is our attempts to set up food buying clubs and Co-Ops that are cheaper than supermarkets, yet we are fully aware of the price pressures that supermakers are applying. to producers. And don't get me started on trying to compete with the economies of scale enjoyed by the likes of Asda and Tesco.

    Well the short answer to how we can square this circle is that we can't.

    And the long answer? Well hopefully I'm addressing it occasionally in this podcast - think back to the episode on OXFarm to fork.and in this episode I speak to some-one else who is helping to knock the edges off this conundrum. Karen Tozer has set up meat buying club that is sustainible, replicable and follows a community development model, something that is often overlooked in this space

  • Food Justice and Food Oppression in the USA
    Feb 16 2026

    Once again in this episode, we will be crossing the pond. Andrea Freeman is an American academic and author. Her book "Ruin their Crops on the Ground" relates the history, and current state, of the US food system; especially how it affects marginalised communities. It is a story that is, at best rife with ignorance, and at worst, fraught with deliberate harm.

    You can purchase Andrea's book from here

    https://www.rarewaves.com/products/9781250871039-ruin-their-crops-on-the-ground

    or from their Ebay Store.

  • From School Dinners to the School Curriculum: The Role of Food in the School System
    Jan 28 2026

    This months episode is a sort of epilogue to last month's. After the metaphorical tape stopped rolling the conversation, between me an Janie continued - much of it on a topic dear to both our hearts, the role food in the school school system - from school dinners to the school curriculum.

    Because this wasn't intended for the podcast you'll hear a lot more from me than usual, along with some insights into how the podcast is made.

    Find out more about Incredible Edible Lambeth, and watch the film that Janie mentions, here
