What does it mean to have a right to food in the UK today? What difference could a real, inclusive right to food make, in ensuring that everyone can live well, not just survive? We will be exploring these questions and more over the next 12-18 months in our mission to make the right to food more than just a slogan.
There’s lots of talk about the right to food. World Food Day 2024 is centred around the right to food ‘for a better life and a better future’. But what does it mean in practice? How can it make a difference today in ensuring that everyone can live well? And what food are we talking about?
On Tuesday 15th October, our Deputy Director Beth Bell was joined by Anna Chworow of Nourish Scotland to kick off this work with a short webinar exploring the fundamentals of the right to food.
This is useful to anyone working in emergency food aid or community food provision, and anyone committed to centring dignity in approaches to tackling hunger, but will be of interest to anyone with a broader interest in justice, rights, inequality and food systems.
