A taste of home

Bbc World Service
About this episode

Facing the trauma of having to abandon your home because of war or climate change, how do you find solace in food that is no longer your own?

There are 10 million registered refugees in the world – probably many more - who are living this reality.

In this episode, Ruth Alexander speaks to two families – one Afghan, one Ukrainian - who know what it’s like to lose their food; and to Allison Oman Lawi, deputy director of nutrition at the World Food Programme.

If you would like to get in touch with the show, please email: thefoodchain@bbc.co.uk

Presented by Ruth Alexander.

Produced by Rumella Dasgupta.
