Editor's Notes
- Food poverty is the “inability to access a nutritionally adequate diet and the related impacts on health, culture and social participation” (Friel and Conlon)
- Other key findings Increased Demand for emergency food Increased number of Working people using food banks Increased Demand for food parcels from families with young children
- “Tackling food poverty needs to be re-conceptualised not as a cost but as an investment in the future health of vulnerable groups in our society.” Martin Caraher ‘Food Poverty Fact or Fiction?’ Public Health Alliance for the Island of Ireland 2007
