Isabel Rice

Food Poverty

Isabel joined Sustain in September 2022 to coordinate the London Food Poverty Campaign which highlights and encourages sustainable responses to food insecurity. Isabel works closely with local authorities and food partnerships on policy and practice to tackle the root causes of food poverty, as well as conducting lived experience work to inform recommendations. She leads on Good Food Local: the London report, which benchmarks council action on food and inspires leadership on food policy and practice in the capital.

Isabel also leads on the national Connecting Community Food Enterprises project, supporting sustainable development of community food projects, and encouraging partnership and social investment from councils and housing associations.

Isabel is a Registered Dietitian with a background in clinical and public health nutrition working with marginalised populations in London. She has undertaken research and advocacy work focusing on food insecurity in the UK, and management of frontline food aid provision. Isabel is also a committee member of the Public Health Specialist Group for the British Dietetic Association. Following a master’s degree in Nutrition for Global Health, Isabel was further inspired to work towards promoting sustainable food systems and reducing nutritional and health inequity. She has published work on improving access to health and nutrition services for disabled children in Uganda.
