87. Food Connects: Community Building and Environmental Awareness, Abigail Fehrsen and Kehinde Micheal Osatuyi of Muizenberg Kitchen

Changing the climate future of our planet can only happen when we all work together and learn from each other—and that’s why this podcast includes diverse perspectives from around the world. Our guest host in this episode is  Abigail Fehrsen in South Africa. Abby talks to Kehinde Micheal Osatuyi about the Muizenberg Community Kitchen—an inspiring and groundbreaking social enterprise that offers nutritious, affordable, plant-based meals to the community—but also gives special attention to the needs of the poor and vulnerable, and to promoting ecological awareness and environmental justice in all they do. You might remember Abby from episode 57, when she and her friend Liesl told the story of the community food cooperative they founded.
