项目摘要

The rapid growth of emergency food - particularly foodbanks - in the 2010s (re)established UK household food insecurity (HFI) as a serious social, academic and policy concern. HFI captures people's experiences of compromising the amount or quality of food they eat, anxiety about food supplies lasting, and sourcing food in socially unacceptable ways (eg: charitable food). Quantitative research has linked HFI with poor diets, physical and mental health problems, worse educational outcomes, and social exclusion. Its scale is significant: in the six months to April 2022, 15.5% of UK households reported HFI, nearly double the figure in 2019-20 (8%). The Covid-19 pandemic then both introduced and deepened financial pressures that are currently being compounded by sharply rising living costs. In parallel, practical, political, and social concerns about dietary environmental sustainability also intensified and highlighted food shortages early in the pandemic. Despite their connections, these topics have rarely been explored together.To better understand the related topics of environmental sustainability and HFI, this project will examine low-income food provisioning over three timescales: past, present, and future. Existing research is mainly cross-sectional, so we know little about how HFI changes over the short term, and the role played by environmental sustainability considerations in the everyday (present, RQ1). The influence of people's life histories, particularly childhood experiences (past, RQ2) on both the relevance of sustainability considerations and people's current HFI experiences, is also poorly understood despite its potential to explain why some low-income groups do not report HFI. In parallel, future expectations (future, RQ3) are unknown: this question will explore participants' future expectations of food provisioning, HFI, and sustainable consumption practices.These themes will be examined through a 15-month feminist qualitative study of 15 low-income mothers in 'Greywood', Sheffield. Exploring these themes over time will offer richly detailed insights into women's food provisioning over the past, present, and future while also highlighting dynamics of continuity and change. Researching with mothers reflects the responsibility typically taken by women to plan meals, shop, and cook; in parallel, women also tend to lead on environmentally-oriented domestic behaviours (eg: recycling). Feminist motivations to examine and draw attention to (often overlooked) women's experiences further reinforce this approach. To compare low-income food provisioning from a range of perspectives, male and female members of women's networks will also be interviewed, a novel approach. Local support service representatives will also be interviewed to offer their views and provide background information. Combining in-depth interviews with ethnographic elements seeks to better understand the related topics of low-income food provisioning and environmental sustainability practices, and their health, social, and wider consequences.The project's findings will be of interest and value beyond academia: among frontline services, national and local government, policy-makers, activists, journalists, and the community, including participants. The detailed understandings of food provisioning that will be generated by the project's qualitative approach means the findings will lead to improved understandings of HFI and environmental sustainability practices. Later, research applying the project's design in other geographical locations and among wider groups could guide a longer-term research agenda. The findings will be valuable to inform good practice among frontline services across settings including welfare, health, education, social inclusion, encouraging joint working between stakeholders and across services, and guiding national and local policy.
2010年代,紧急粮食(特别是粮食银行)的快速增长使英国家庭粮食不安全(HFI)成为一个严重的社会,学术和政策问题。HFI捕捉人们的经验,损害他们吃的食物的数量或质量,对食物供应持久的焦虑,以及以社会不可接受的方式采购食物(例如:慈善食品)。定量研究将HFI与不良饮食、身心健康问题、较差的教育成果和社会排斥联系起来。其规模是显著的:在截至2022年4月的六个月内,15.5%的英国家庭报告了HFI,几乎是2019-20年(8%)的两倍。新冠肺炎疫情随后带来并加深了财务压力,而目前生活成本的急剧上升又加剧了这种压力。与此同时,对饮食环境可持续性的实际、政治和社会关注也在大流行早期加剧并突出了粮食短缺。为了更好地理解环境可持续性和HFI的相关主题,本项目将在过去、现在和未来三个时间尺度上研究低收入粮食供应。现有的研究主要是横截面的,所以我们对HFI在短期内如何变化以及环境可持续性考虑在日常生活中所扮演的角色知之甚少。人们的生活史,特别是童年经历(过去,RQ 2)对可持续性考虑的相关性和人们目前的HFI经历的影响也知之甚少,尽管它有可能解释为什么一些低收入群体不报告HFI。与此同时,未来的期望(未来,RQ 3)是未知的:这个问题将探讨参与者的粮食供应,HFI和可持续消费的practices.These主题的未来期望将通过15个月的女权主义定性研究15个低收入的母亲在“格雷伍德”,谢菲尔德。随着时间的推移,探索这些主题将提供丰富详细的见解妇女的粮食供应在过去,现在和未来,同时也突出了连续性和变化的动态。对母亲的研究反映了妇女通常负责计划膳食,购物和烹饪;同时,妇女也倾向于领导以环境为导向的家庭行为(例如:回收)。审查和提请注意(往往被忽视的)妇女经历的女权主义动机进一步加强了这一方法。为了从一系列角度比较低收入粮食供应,还将采访妇女网络的男女成员,这是一种新的方法。还将采访当地支持服务代表,以表达他们的观点并提供背景信息。将深入访谈与人种学元素相结合,旨在更好地了解低收入食品供应和环境可持续性实践的相关主题,以及它们对健康、社会和更广泛的影响。该项目的研究结果将具有学术界以外的兴趣和价值:在前线服务、国家和地方政府、政策制定者、活动家、记者和社区,包括参与者中。该项目的定性方法将产生对粮食供应的详细理解,这意味着调查结果将有助于提高对HFI和环境可持续性做法的理解。后来,在其他地理位置和更广泛的群体中应用该项目的设计进行的研究可以指导一个长期的研究议程。调查结果将有助于为福利、卫生、教育、社会包容等各种环境的一线服务提供良好做法,鼓励利益攸关方和各服务部门之间的联合工作,并指导国家和地方政策。
