Food Ambassador

The Food Ambassador programme is made up of volunteer campaigners with lived experience of food insecurity who, as experts by experience, share their stories and insights to bring attention to the realities of the UK’s broken food system. From rising food prices and the cost-of-living crisis, to climate shocks, struggling farmers and increasing health inequalities – something needs to change!
