  • Ending Campus Hunger with Sam Laban

    Ending Campus Hunger with Sam Laban
    2025/05/06

    Hunger shouldn’t be part of getting a degree. Campus Hunger isn't about bad budgeting. It's about broken systems.

    In this episode of the Zero Hunger Project, Sam Laban, manager of the Guelph Lab, shares how institutions can stop treating student hunger as a rite of passage. He walks us through the power of data, student leadership, and bold university-led programs that tackle food insecurity at the root.

    Sam also challenges the toxic myth that hunger is just “part of the experience.” It’s not. It’s a barrier to graduation, mental wellness, and long-term stability.

    The cost of ignoring it is far greater than the cost of solving it.

    This is for people who believe that access to food should never be the thing that stands between someone and their future.

    Tune in now and explore what it really means to build hunger-free campuses because no student should have to choose between learning and eating.

  • A Future Without Hunger Is Possible with Stefanos Fotiou

    A Future Without Hunger Is Possible with Stefanos Fotiou
    2025/04/30
    Hunger persists, not because we lack food, but because we’ve accepted broken systems for far too long. In this episode of the Zero Hunger Project, you’ll hear from Stefanos Fotiou, who’s doing more than imagining that future. He calls out the system failures, food waste, skewed pricing, and harmful subsidies that keep people hungry while letting power stay concentrated. The message is clear: hunger isn’t caused by scarcity. It’s caused by structure. And the structure can be changed. Being a consumer isn’t enough anymore. We must become food citizens, people who care about where food comes from, who grows it, and how it shapes our communities and the planet. ▶️ A Future Without Hunger Is Possible with Stefanos Fotiou Stefanos Fotiou is a global leader in sustainable development with 30 years of experience across the UN system, private sector, and research institutions.

    The Painful Truth About Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with Stefanos Fotiou
    2025/04/22
    Why do millions still suffer from hunger despite the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and decades of promises? In this episode, Suman Roy and Stacia Neale sit down with Stefanos Fotiou, a global force in sustainable development and Director at the UN FAO, to ask the hard questions about the SDGs. He’s here to break the silence on why the world is failing on its most ambitious goals and shares why, if we stay on the current path, most SDG targets will remain out of reach. They also dig deeper truths behind food waste, market imbalance, and why only 7.8 cents of every dollar in food value goes to farmers in the U.S. You’ll walk away with one thing: this isn’t a resource problem; it’s a systems problem. Fixing it starts with changing how we think, act, and hold power accountable. ▶️ The Painful Truth About Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Key Points: 00:00 Introduction 03:53 What SDGs are and why they matter. 05:14 How far off track we are. 06:55 The physics of failure: momentum, inertia, friction. 11:57 Rethinking sustainable development systems. 13:09 The role of ideology and short-term thinking. 16:54 True cost of food systems. 17:53 Power imbalance in the food value chain. 20:08 Overconsumption and food waste crisis.
