I became a Food Ambassador because I felt more needed to be done regarding food insecurity in one of the richest countries on earth. I wanted to do a little more and see where I could contribute. I saw people going to odds to obtain food and on the flip side watching others squander and waste food/ energy which means there's a gap and a major problem is education around this. I felt more could be done.
Based in London and over 35 years old.
Hello, I am a high school student, who is passionate about changing the food industry and the school meal system. To this day, much of the industry and many school meals, like those at my school, are unhealthy and provide little to no nutrition. So, as a part of the Food Foundation, I will fight for healthier and free school meals for everyone and make healthy eating a staple for future generations.
I took on the role of food ambassador as a way to get more involved within the community. To me, a problem with the food system is a problem with the functioning of our country. I want to leverage my experience, networks and expertise to reduce this inefficiency.
