Considering the relationship between food, precarity and poverty in public health

The pandemic has increased the number of people struggling to access food. At the same time, many more people have become involved in providing emergency food services. So how do we ensure this work promotes dignity for those needing support?

To answer this question we have been working with staff and volunteers from community food initiatives across Scotland to design a workshop that will enable you to enhance dignity in your practice. Whether you are a new or experienced organiser or volunteer working in emergency food provision responses, this workshop will provide an interactive and engaging opportunity to reconsider how we may best adapt our practices to ensure dignity is at the centre of our work.

Join us in this online workshop to:

• hear about good practice examples in Scotland;
• learn practical tips and strategies;
• reflect on your own work;
• continue co-constructing an understanding of how dignity can be put in practice during this crisis.

Please note that due to the participatory nature of the workshop you will require a computer in order to join.

If COVID-19 has taught us anything, it’s that we – as a society – need healthier, more resilient, more equitable food systems. Furthermore, we’ve long known public interventions are often better identified, agreed, prioritised and delivered when they’re community led. Join us for a webinar that explores how – even at a time of social distancing – we can place communities at the heart of the decisions that shape their access to food, enabling a healthy and sustainable diet. Our expert speakers will provide insight into how advocates, strategists and practitioners might place communities at the heart of the decisions that determine their diet and healthy weight.

This is part of our 2020 #FoodTalks series, which has an overarching theme this year of ‘We are all emergency respondents now’. We will discover how we can transform our food systems to tackle the climate, nature, obesity and democracy emergencies.

Carolyn, in conversation with our moderator, will be sharing insights from her brand new book ‘Sitopia: How Food Can Save the World’. Carolyn also wrote ‘Hungry City’ and is a leading authority on food, cities and transformative change. In addition, we will hear stories of people taking positive climate action on the ground (to be announced soon). Crucially, there will also be an opportunity for you to get involved in the discussion about how we can all be emergency respondents now.

A webinar organised by Sustainable Food Places and Sustain for Capital Growth and Good to Grow gardens and food growing networks to stay connected, share latest updates and developments, how gardens and networks are responding and adapting to the gradual lifting of social distancing and to identify areas for support and collaboration. There will be presentations from Sustain, Social Farms and Gardens and gardens across the country covering strategies for re-opening gardens in a safe way and growing more to donate to the community.
