Is it harder to make it in the food industry if you鈥檙e black?
Jaega Wise meets a chef, a food writer and a farmer to hear their views on how the food industry and media is holding black people back.
The Black Farmer thinks we鈥檙e at another #MeToo moment in world history following the death of George Floyd and the protests and discussions about racism it has sparked. For presenter Jaega Wise, it鈥檚 the first time in her life she has experienced race being talked about so frankly across society. She talks to three people who have been at the forefront of the conversation: Melissa Thompson who runs the food and recipe project Foulmouths, Wilfred Emmanuel-Jones who runs the brand The Black Farmer, and Riaz Phillips - author of Belly Full, a book about Britain鈥檚 Caribbean food. All three have spoken out about diversity in the food media, hospitality and the supply chain in the last few weeks and Jaega hears their experiences and opinions on being black in Britain鈥檚 food industry.
