Show Notes

This week we are joined by Greg Pattinson, CEO of Foodbank SA!

Together we discuss strategies to combat food insecurity, including partnering with local businesses to manufacture and distribute meals, teaching people how to cook, and providing convenience options.

We explore the importance of leading people towards healthier choices and reducing their reliance on takeaways, and highlighted the role of food banks in providing essential services. Greg also discusses the potential for local community engagement and the need for augmenting existing services such as cooking classes or community gardens to provide a more comprehensive support system for those struggling with food insecurity.
