How social supermarkets are filling a gap in austerity Britain

    Research output: Practice-Based and Non-textual ResearchWeb publication/site

    Abstract

    Social supermarkets have emerged in Britain in the past five years as a response to food poverty and food waste. These non-charitable initiatives sell food “surplus” to people on low incomes at heavily discounted prices, and provide social support.

    In new research, my colleague and I have mapped the growth of social supermarkets and found that while they help support people who are struggling, they do little to challenge the inequalities in the food system.
