We think\u00a0<\/span>it\u2019s<\/span> possible and that everyone across the supply chain can be involved.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As food insecurity rises, Newton, The Felix Project and FareShare, and Alliance Food Sourcing, welcomed by the Coronation Food Project, have collaborated on research into how to get more good food to people who need it. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Power of Food<\/h2>\n <\/hgroup>\n \n

\u201cThere\u2019s\u00a0a nurse who visits one of our London hubs. During the pandemic, she was one of the key workers keeping people alive. But her partner lost his job and they got into debt.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Each month, if the family household is struggling, she comes in and pays a small fraction of what she would pay at retail \u2013 around a twentieth \u2013 to get what she needs for her family. She has the dignity of choice but also access to so much more through the community centre. Her husband, for instance, has built IT skills to support him to get into a job.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Their family is being transformed. This is the power of food. It honestly happens all around the country, all the time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

“Our premise \u2013 how to provide a billion meals to people in need \u2013 is wildly aspirational. But even if we only achieve a small proportion of what is suggested in this report, we can feed millions more people a year who don\u2019t have access to affordable or nutritious food.”<\/p>\n \n Tim Murray, Partner <\/span>\n Newton <\/cite>\n <\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n \n\n\n
