A radio show about Food Sovereignty and Food from Sustainable Sources.

What is food sovereignty? Food sovereignty allows communities control over the way food is produced, traded and consumed. It could create a food system that is designed to help people and the environment rather than make profits for multinational corporations.

Each week on this 30 minute radio show we will speak to people who campaign for food sovereignty.

And to producers and growers in Newcastle Upon Tyne who are producing and selling fresh, healthy food that we can trust.

Episode One on 23rd June will have:

1.Toxic trade deals and chlorinated chicken. Talk by Leah Sullivan from War on Want

2.Mutual Aid Groups in West End of Newcastle.
