Food Insecurity with Dev Sharma

Duration: 28 minutes

First broadcast:

Available for over a year

Presenter Isy Suttie speaks to Dev Sharma who is on a mission to end food insecurity for young people across the UK. In 2018 Dev realised that he and his friends were experiencing food insecurity and the stigma associated with not being able to afford hot school meals.

Dev has worked tirelessly and campaigned to open the conversation about food insecurity, stopping junk food from being the everyday option for low income families and trying to change the way young people think about food.

This has led to Dev being crowned Leicester’s Young Person of the Year, becoming a Young Food Ambassador and now becoming part of a new committee, led by Chef Jamie Oliver, targeting obesity in young people.

This is how Dev changed his world… Show less
