A bad day at work led @SimonJWoodUK to apply to @MasterChefUK. He made it to the final in 2015. “I can still hear the words in my head. Our MasterChef Champion is...that pause lasted forever." Millions tune in to watch moments like this. Why do we love cooking competitions?

Meet Samuel Ikua, #BBCFoodChain’s Global Youth Champion. The 29-year-old from Kenya has one mission: to teach urban farming to people living in deprived areas. Kenya’s population has doubled in the last two decades. Samuel says - let's use the land for food, not building.
