Jamie's big vision
“The activities that sit underneath the Better Food Foundation are in the thick of provoking the conversation about how we feed and teach kids at school and at home. Everything we do is about improving lives through a better education and understanding of food, where it comes from and how it affects our bodies. Whether it's training unemployed young people to give them jobs and opportunities; campaigning for proper food in schools; teaching kids how to grow and cook food; or teaching adults who have missed out on those skills how to cook a meal from scratch, we want to show that making simple choices can make a massive difference. It’s about making people more streetwise about food and inspiring them to reconnect with it, regardless of their background or economic status. We want to give everyone the tools, skills and knowledge to make a lasting, positive impact on their lives.
We have a range of grassroots projects that people can take advantage of, and we’ve worked with kids as young as four through to people in their 80s. This is about raising awareness and individual responsibility, resuscitating dying food culture around the world and, ultimately, keeping cooking skills alive.” Jamie Oliver
