Eat More Beans... Please with Paul Newnham

Right now, 735 million people face hunger and one in three of the world’s population is malnourished. But the global food crisis is  the ‘elephant in the room’ - too often ignored in political discussions and in the media.

It's a climate crisis, a conflict crisis, and a cost-of-living crisis: it demands a massive and joined-up global response that is currently lacking.

In a bid to meet the UN’s second Sustainable Development Goal (SDG2) of zero hunger by 2030, one campaign is asking you to eat more beans. Its argument? Beans are cheap, long-lasting, nutritious, versatile, planet-friendly, and ubiquitous.

Paul Newnham is the executive director of the SDG2 Advocacy Hub, which campaigns to achieve the UN's goal of ending hunger by 2030. 

I promise you this podcast will get you reaching out for more beans in your next supermarket shop
