The Big Food Rescue (Documentary)Programme following two men on a mission to change Britain's food habits. Outraged by the amount of fresh food that is binned in Britain, Robin Aitken and David Cairns are running a new charity that aims to take produce due to be thrown out by the supermarkets and divert it to people who need fresh food the most. They need to sign up supermarkets and wholesalers and find suitable charities that could benefit from the food. Meanwhile, trustee Michael tries to make every penny count in the search for a new van. Each episode looks at a specific aspect of the project. This new five part programme airs on BBC1 at 9.15-10.00am every day from Monday 28 December to Friday 2 December 2016
Anne Elkin is the Project Coordinator for the Felix project which is the subject of this series. Anne undertook the BSc Global Health and Humanitarian Relief degree here in the Faculty of Health and went on to take a Masters in Nutrition for Global Health at LSHTM.The work that the Felix project does can be viewed on their website
Its interesting to hear how students from the BSc Global Health & Humanitarian Relief have thrived and are using their talents to good effect. It still amazes me that such an innovative course was dropped by the FHSC.
