Tackling the root causes of food poverty locally requires a coordinated approach. This can increase expertise, resource and capacity to ensure no one goes hungry and prevent organisations or projects from being overwhelmed by the scale of the problem.

Page: Ensure everyone has physical and financial access to good food
Food poverty is the inability to afford or access good food. Be that because people on low incomes live in areas where convenience stores (with a limited range of goods) or fast-food outlets predominate. Or they simply don’t have enough money to buy food due to low wages or many other reasons.

Page: Good Food for All
Everyone has a right to healthy and affordable food. Good food for all means ensuring that people experiencing financial crisis or food poverty can access and afford a healthy diet. It means improving food in schools, hospitals and meals on wheels, and in a way that is ‘more than a meal’; good food should be integrated into education, social services and institutional policies. Sustain also works to combat excessive pressure from the advertising and marketing of unhealthy foods and drinks that contribute to poor health.
