The Commission has uncovered
a crisis of food access for many households in the UK. There are
multiple cases of parents – usually mothers – going hungry to feed
their children or having to prioritise calories over nutrients to afford
their weekly food. The Commission defines this as ‘household food
insecurity’: the inability to acquire a
sufficient quantity of food, or the
uncertainty that one will be able to do so. But a lack of official
measurement means nobody can be clear how many people are affected. Reducing and eventually ending household food insecurity needs an
active approach from government, and
the Commission have produced a 14 point plan.
