    From Spice Island to Zero Hunger: Grenada's Fight for Food Security

    Can a small island fight hunger and win? Grenada, the Spice Island of the Caribbean, is proving that determined leadership and community action can move a nation closer to food security. In this episode of the Zero Hunger Project, Sen. The Hon. Gloria Thomas, Minister for Social and Community Development, Housing, and Gender Affairs in Grenada, explains the realities small island nations face like heavy food import dependence, climate shocks, and persistent poverty. Grenada imports about 60 to 80 percent of its food, making it highly vulnerable to global supply disruptions and rising prices. Sen. Gloria outlines how the country is responding through stronger agriculture programs, climate‑smart farming, livestock breeding, and support for local farmers while also addressing gender inequality that limits economic opportunity for women. By investing in skills training, education for young girls, and community partnerships, Grenada is strengthening both livelihoods and food security. Spend a few minutes with this episode of From Spice Island to Zero Hunger: Grenada's Fight for Food Security to see how a small island is shaping big ideas for the future of food security.       Senator the Honorable Gloria Ann Thomas is Grenada's Minister for Social and Community Development, Housing and Gender Affairs and a veteran social worker with more than 45 years of public service. Widely respected for her leadership in social protection and gender equality, she has championed policies that strengthen community support systems and protect vulnerable populations. Her work has advanced programs focused on equity, dignity, and empowerment across Grenada, Carriacou, and Petite Martinique. With a background in social work, counseling psychology, and project management, Senator Thomas has shaped initiatives addressing gender-based violence, community development, and inclusive social policy. Appointed to the Senate in 2022, she continues to advocate for people-centered development and stronger systems that help communities thrive.  LI: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sen-the-hon-gloria-thomas-a36b5b25a/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/sen.hon.gloriathomas/    FB: https://www.facebook.com/p/Sen-The-Hon-Gloria-Thomas-100080072666089/     Suman Roy is a globally recognized leader in food security, poverty reduction, and community resilience.

    You Can't Separate Health From Hunger: A Doctor's Call to End Food Insecurity

    Health and hunger move together and when you strengthen one, you strengthen the other. In this episode of the Zero Hunger Project, Dr. Sameh Kamel, medical doctor and ENT surgeon, explains why malnutrition weakens immune systems, slows recovery, reduces income, and traps families in a cycle that passes from one generation to the next. Strong health systems protect dignity and restore stability. You'll confront the deeper barriers: fragmented policies, weak nutrition data, centralized decision-making, and political gridlock that keeps solutions stuck in offices instead of reaching communities. Dr. Kamel challenges governments to step outside bureaucracy, listen locally, and connect health, agriculture, and social protection into one coordinated strategy. Rethink how you define healthcare and measure hunger. Tune in the full episode of You Can't Separate Health From Hunger: A Doctor's Call to End Food Insecurity.         Dr. Sameh Kamel is a medical doctor and ENT surgeon whose work bridges clinical practice and global advocacy for food security and public health. As an Organizing Partner with the United Nations Major Group for Children and Youth, he champions the integration of health, sustainability, and policy reform on the international stage. Trained at October 6 University and pursuing a Master's in Ear, Nose and Throat Surgery, Dr. Kamel combines frontline medical expertise with a systems-level understanding of how hunger weakens immunity and deepens inequality. He is a skilled communicator and youth advocate, experienced in intergovernmental negotiations and policy drafting. Dr. Kamel's mission is clear: health and hunger are inseparable, and lasting solutions demand both medical insight and bold global action.  LI: https://www.linkedin.com/in/samehkamel/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/samehfirst/    Suman Roy is a globally recognized leader in food security, poverty reduction, and community resilience.

    Why Child Poverty and Food Insecurity Still Define Canada

    Canada's wealth tells only part of the story. Behind the headlines, millions of children face daily choices no child should have to make. In this episode of the Zero Hunger Project, Leila Sarangi, Senior Director of Strategy and Innovation at Family Service Toronto, connects child poverty, food insecurity, and policy decisions shaping life across the country. Drawing on decades of community-based work and national advocacy, she explains why hunger in Canada is not inevitable, but the result of choices that can be changed. The discussion breaks down how income insecurity, rising food costs, and systemic inequities place children and single-parent households at higher risk. You'll learn why food banks and short-term fixes fall short, and how income supports like the Canada Child Benefit, fair taxation, and community-driven food systems can create lasting stability. Learn how collective pressure can move Canada closer to a future where every child has enough to eat. Watch the full episode of Why Child Poverty and Food Insecurity Still Define Canada.        Leila Sarangi is the Senior Director of Strategy and Innovation at Family Service Toronto, bringing over 25 years of experience in community-based research, organizing, and nonprofit leadership.

    Food Is Culture: Rebuilding Urban Food Systems With Dignity

    Food is more than fuel. It carries memory, identity, and dignity and when food systems ignore that, people are left behind. In this episode of the Zero Hunger Project, Dr. Jo Sharma, Associate Professor of Food and Environmental Studies at the University of Toronto and a founding member of the Culinaria Research Centre, explains why food security, food sovereignty, and food infrastructure cannot exist in silos especially in cities.

Street food, local markets, and community-led food initiatives show how dignity and access can return to everyday life. These food spaces, whether in Toronto or cities around the world, support small entrepreneurs, reduce waste, and help make nourishing food something people can count on.
