| Abstract: | If people want to be healthy they need to eat. However, food poverty (the inability to afford or access food to make up a healthy diet) is just one of the consequences of climate change. For many children in UK schools, food poverty is their everyday experience. The UK's food poverty rate is suggested to be among the highest in Europe; despite the UK being the sixth richest country in the world, millions are struggling to access the food they need. In this article, the authors describe how education is the key to leaving food poverty behind. |
