Hayley North & Kirsten Chick discuss the new National Food Strategy proposals, and then talk food, community and wellbeing with Sara Fernee of the Very Local Food Hubs.
With recipe, cooking and nutrition tips from Hayley and Kirsten.

Sara Fernee is a Community Champion and social entrepreneur who lives and works in Brighton, East Sussex, in the UK.
An artist, a teacher and a forest school leader; Sara is passionate about reconnecting people with nature, with seasonality and the benefits of spending time outdoors.
She established Fernee Forest Club in 2016, and has worked with schools and other organisations, to develop biodiversity and to plant 100s of trees in Brighton.
Fernee Forest Club creates opportunities for children and young people to have regular experiences in nature; using the forest school approach to encourage curiosity, creativity, adventure and to develop skills and confidence along the way.
Sara also developed the Local Wild Spaces Project in 2018, a collaborative project that enables people to discover, value and protect the green spaces on their doorsteps.
During the first lockdown of 2020, Sara joined forces and created The Very Local Food Hubs project, in an area of East Brighton, in response to local need and concern about an exasperated food poverty crisis.
Sara received the Community Champion award from the TDC (Trust For Developing Communities) for her work and volunteering in Bevendean.
