Food Inequality Inquiry

What do we want to know?: 

Food Inequality Inquiry – call for evidence

Glasgow City Council launched a six week inquiry into food poverty and inequality across the city today, Friday 28 September 2018.

The move was agreed at the General Purposes Policy Development Committee, chaired by Bailie Elaine Ballantyne, on Tuesday 25 September 2018. (Report attached for information)

The inquiry is seeking evidence and views on this important subject.

The council is aware increasing numbers of people in Glasgow are experiencing difficulties - physically and economically - accessing sufficient, safe and nutritious food.

We also know a wide range of organisations and charities are responding to those experiencing acute food insecurity – including an established community food sector.

We wish to work with these partners and organisations across Glasgow to ensure the city is operating these responses and services as effectively as possible.

We are seeking your views and any evidence you may have in relation to:

  • The scale of food inequality in the city
  • What steps we can take to prevent food inequality
  • How we make best use of existing services and approaches
  • What the city can do to invest in longer term sustainable solutions

Please send your views and any available evidence to:  consultationqueries@glasgow.gov.uk

  This call for evidence will run until 9th November 2018.  

The Committee also intends to hear evidence about associated projects and initiatives tackling food poverty across the city.
