Join us at Community Food Power: A New Approach to Food Security, a conference organised by the Food Justice Alliance, where we’ll explore how food can drive real change in tackling poverty and building stronger communities and together build on five years of collaborative efforts. Food insecurity isn’t just about money - it impacts emotional wellbeing, nutrition, and the sense of belonging in a community.

We’ll be hearing about the Food Ladders approach developed by Dr. Megan Blake, University of Sheffield and considering whether this approach offers a new and fresh framework for the work in Cambridge on Food Justice. The Food Ladders approach uses food to build resilience by creating connections and empowering communities. Unlike traditional approaches that only focus on emergency food aid, Food Ladders works through three steps: supporting those in crisis, building community capacity to access and share food, and encouraging self-organised projects that drive lasting change.
