This book examines the social inequalities relating to food
insecurity in the UK, as well as drawing parallels with the US.
Access to food in the UK, and especially access to healthy food, is
a constant source of worry for many in this wealthy country.
Crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, have coincided with a steep
rise in the cost of living, meaning household food insecurity has
become a reality for many more households. This book introduces a
new framework to examine the many influences on local-level food
inequalities, whether they result from individual circumstances or
where a person lives. The framework will allow researchers new to
the field to consider the many influences on food security, and to
support emerging research around different sub-topics of food
access and food security. Providing a thorough background to two
key concepts, food deserts and food insecurity, the book documents
the transition from area-based framing of food resources, to
approaches which focus on household food poverty and the rise of
food banks. The book invites researchers to acknowledge and explore
the ever changing range of place-based factors that shape
experiences of food insecurity: from transport and employment to
rural isolation and local politics. By proposing a new framework
for food insecurity research and by drawing on real-world examples,
this book will support academic and applied researchers as they
work to understand and mitigate the impacts of food insecurity in
local communities. This book will be of great interest to students
and scholars of food and nutrition security, public health, and
sociology. It will also appeal to food policy professionals and
policymakers who are working to address social inequalities and
improve access to healthy and nutritious food for all.
