Abstract

Despite the presence of foodbanks in the UK since 2000, there remains a limited understanding of the spatial interplay between poverty and segregation, and how we can facilitate low-income individuals to transition beyond emergency food aid. Using Castilhos and Dolbec’s (2018) typology of spaces and original qualitative research with food aid organisations, this research examines the role of food aid providers, including their spatial engagement, when seeking to alleviate urban food poverty.
