单集简介 ...

5x15 brings together five outstanding individuals to tell of their lives, passions and inspirations. There are only two rules - no scripts and only 15 minutes each. Henry Dimbleby is the co-founder of LEON, and the Director of The Sustainable Restaurant Association, which runs some of London's most successful street food markets. His work with DEFRA culminated in the National Food Strategy – a policy proposal widely praised by industry wide figures such as Yotam Ottolenghi and Sir Partha Dasgupta. In 2013 he co-authored The School Food Plan, which set out actions to transform what children eat in schools and how they learn about food. In his new book Ravenous, Dimbleby takes us behind the scenes to reveal the mechanisms that act together to shape the modern diet - and therefore the world. He explains not just why the food system is leading us into disaster, but what can be done about it.

  • Five times 15.

  • Thanks so much, Jack.

  • And what an incredible series of talks to follow.

  • I wanted to talk this evening about Ravenous of the National Food Strategy.

  • The Food Strategy was a piece of work I did for government and I knew

  • that when I went about it I wanted to do two things.

  • One was to tell a story and the other was to recommend specific policies.

  • And when you're trying to change policy,

  • in many ways the story is more important because policy happens in fits and starts.

  • It can be quite random, the events that bring about a particular change of position.

  • Whereas what underlies everything is the story and the, the story that we decided to tell.

  • Oh, by the way, the book came because as soon as we'd published the National Food Strategy,

  • my wife said no one sane is going to go online and read an online government document.

  • We had to turn it into a book.

  • So that's what we did.

  • And Jemima Lewis is is her name.

  • She wrote it with me.

  • The story that we tell starts in 1914, sorry, 1945.

  • It starts off in the Second World War.

  • There were 2.8 billion people on the planet.
