Eat yourself richer: Could better food fix our economy?

From school canteens to prison kitchens, the quality of the meals served in public institutions is often alarmingly poor. But rather than accepting this, could fixing the issue boost Britain in ways we might not realise?

In today’s episode, Coco Khan speaks with Kevin Morgan, Professor of Governance and Development at Cardiff University and author of Serving the Public, to explore how better institutional food can boost public health, support local businesses, and perhaps even lead to the economic growth politicians desire.
