Hi everyone,

 

On the 20^th of September I will be presenting the findings of my recent work on resilience in charitable food supply chains. This will take place at the University of Kent in Canterbury, UK as part of the Eastern Arc Conference. The theme this year is ‘Food in a time of crisis’ see - https://easternarc.ac.uk/eastern-arc-conference-2023-food-in-a-time-of-crisis/.

A more resilient food future? The challenges and opportunities of charitable food supply chains – 2 to 3.15, 20^th September

 

Abstract

 

Community organisations play a critical role in alleviating food poverty and food insecurity in the UK. This session focuses on the work of charitable food supply chains and the redistribution of food surpluses that provides a lifeline of accessible food supply to community organisations. The session will explore this sector’s need for greater resilience with regards to key learnings from the pandemic, a period that saw a dramatic rise in the demand for charitable food provision, and the ongoing impact of the cost of living crisis. Surplus food refers to food products from the retail and manufacturing sector that are no longer required but are still perfectly edible. There has been a considerable lack of academic engagement in understanding activities of capturing, storing, sorting, processing and redistributing such surplus food. In this session we present the findings of a recent study looking into the concept of resilience by stakeholders across this supply chain. We also look to provide a space for the research participants as well as wider contacts to discuss and debate important questions. For example how to progress towards greater resilience, what structural and societal changes need to take place, and wider concerns such as how to access appropriate knowledge and skills, and how organisations can learn from each other.

 

Speakers:

-               Dr. Jordon Lazell and Dr. Debashree De (Essex Business School, University of Essex)

-               Ben Mann (Community Supermarket Commissioning Lead, Essex County Council)

-               Alison Lodiska (Laindon Community Supermarket)

 

Thanks!

I'm based in Tanzania. Is this an online conference and open to everyone? I'm a current Doctoral Student in the field of Food Waste, this would be an important experience to me.
