At Mandala we’re conducting a range of research projects across Birmingham to investigate how the food system is changing right now, and how it could change in the future. We’re checking in on these projects through a series of short films – Stories from a Changing Food System – produced by Good Stories in Food.
Our new film profiles our research with Birmingham Children’s Hospital, who are taking a new approach to hospital catering that’s good for the planet as well as patients. The hospital’s catering and dietitians have been redesigning menus to cut their environmental impact while maintaining, even improving, nutritional quality and appeal to young patients.
