How Backbone Organisations Drive Impact
In today's episode, we speak to Dr. Scott Drimie about the vital role of backbone organisations in community development. Scott, a longtime partner of the foundation, is the director of the South African Food Lab and an adjunct professor at Stellenbosch University’s nutrition division.
We dive deep into how his work with the South African Food Lab has shaped his perspective on food insecurity, particularly for young children. Dr. Drimie shares insights into how the Food Lab serves as a platform for dialogue, bringing together a diverse range of perspectives—sometimes conflicting—on the issue of food security. He reflects on the importance of listening, embracing discomfort, and fostering connections in the pursuit of new ideas and solutions for food insecurity.
Tune in for an inspiring conversation that challenges us to think differently about tackling complex issues through collaboration and empathy.
