The rise of food banks and the challenge of matching food assistance with potential need: towards a spatially specific, rapid assessment approach.Christopher M. Bacon & Gregory A. Baker - 2017 - Agriculture and Human Values 34 (4):899-919.details In the United States, food banks served an estimated 46 million people in 2015.

Regulating surplus: charity and the legal geographies of food waste enclosure.Joshua D. Lohnes - 2020 - Agriculture and Human Values 38 (2):351-363.details Food charity in the United States has grown into a critical appendage of agro-food supply chains.

Recent global trade disruptions and the COVID-19 pandemic have further reinforced this trend. Economic geographers studying charitable food networks argue that its infrastructure and moral substructure serve to revalue food waste and surplus labor in the capitalist food system. The (...)

Charitable food aid in Finland: from a social issue to an environmental solution.Ville Tikka - 2019 - Agriculture and Human Values 36 (2):341-352.details Since the establishment of the first food bank in 1995, charitable food aid has become entrenched in Finland as a seemingly irreplaceable solution to food poverty. Further, it has recently been suggested that the focus of food aid activities is shifting from food poverty and temporary hunger alleviation towards environmental sustainability through addressing food waste via organized re-distribution of expiring food from retail to charitable organizations. This potentially creates a mechanism that solidifies food poverty and fortifies the paradoxical situation where (...) Download Export citation Bookmark 1 citation
