Last week, Scottish Poverty and Inequality Research Unit hosted an event about tackling food insecurity in Scotland and in Europe. The seminar aimed to foster exchange among academics, practitioners and stakeholders to better appreciate the innovative process to secure access to nutritious food for everyone, while also avoiding food waste. Best practices and policies from Scotland and other European countries have been illustrated by Dr Francesca Calò of the Yunus Centre for Social Business & Health and co-editor of the book Foodsaving in Europe: at the Crossroad of Social Innovation (Palgrave McMillan 2017). The seminar discussed also the work of the Big Lottery Funded project ‘A Menu for Change’, led by the Child Poverty Action Group in Scotland, Oxfam Scotland, Nourish Scotland and the Poverty Alliance
