Disability and Food Insecurity

This week, Danny McCubbin, founder and author of The Good Kitchen reports on the Food Foundation's latest survey on the increasing food insecurity faced by people with disabilities.Food insecurity levels in the UK have reached unprecedented highs over the past few years, first in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic and now continuing through the cost of living crisis. Disabled people have been particularly exposed to food insecurity, facing stark inequalities when it comes to accessing and affording the food that they need.Shona Goudie, policy and advocacy manager at the Food Foundation, Dan White from Disabilities Rights UK, Simon Shaw, Co-Investigator, Food at Home, University of Sheffield and Sabine Goodwin from IFAN break down the stats to paint a devastating picture of life for many people living with disability in Broken Britain.Click here for the Food Foundation's Manifesto Hosted on Acast.
