@DrCPettingerRD @LukePollard @SoDiscretion @foodsequal @foodplymouth Oh wow. This is definitely not good news. I can't even begin to imagine the implications for fishing and consumption of locally landed fish in Plymouth.

Great to see this paper and link with @felixprojectuk - outlining potential ways to improve food aid supply and reduce waste. Findings of interest to the #CoronationFoodProject and others... @FareShareUK @RoyalFamily @WRAP_UK #FoodSystems @FoodSecurityUK

Disadvantaged consumers access food through a hybrid food supply chain which has been understudied.
@MBourlakis, @DaygloGooner, @cwagstaff and I explore this supply chain and present impact pathways for both practice and future research. Read it here:

The increasing demand on alternative sources for food supply is even affecting babies. I'm lost for words.

…there will also be opportunities to improve the consideration of food loss and waste in the storage and transport, manufacturing and processing and distribution stages of the food supply chain, which could help to meet need for food surplus among marginalised communities. 6/6

Fresh fruit and vegetables are a crucial part of a healthy diet but some UK family favourites such as lettuce, peas and carrots are currently associated with the highest levels of on-farm waste. #IDAFLW2023#IDAFLW #foodwaste #FLWDay 1/6

[Emmanuel Sawyerr @drmanuel_]

We note that it is critical to explore the implications that waste minimisation innovations could have on the availability of surplus food, which millions of people across the UK rely upon. However, as more responsible primary production is pursued…5/6

@HJGardiner @MazzucatoM @forresttdweller @guardian Absolutely. Thanks for sharing. I'm skeptical about the WB & UN taking any meaningful action but I'm glad more people are realising addressing poverty is important, even fundamental to our concern for the environment.

It seems to me that for the increasing global hungry populations, immediate survival outweighs any other concerns. And it appears solving poverty may actually be easier and faster, and open up access to more brain power to solving environmental issues.

[Emmanuel Sawyerr @drmanuel_]

Is it possible that perhaps our efforts for #sustainability ought to be primarily directed towards eradicating global abject #poverty first? Yes, we can do multiple things simultaneously but currently environmental sustainability seems to be our primary focus.

[Emmanuel Sawyerr @drmanuel_]

@KimAnastasiou @HJGardiner Most definitely. Thanks in advance

[Emmanuel Sawyerr @drmanuel_]

@HJGardiner @KimAnastasiou @HJGardiner Thanks for bringing this to my attention. It sounds really interesting. I'll look further into it.
