Initially seen as an emergency measure, corporate-backed food aid programmes are now entrenched 'solutions' to hunger. But who really benefits from them?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eHunger Inc.\u003c\/i\u003e, Kayleigh Garthwaite travels across Britain, North America and Europe, working with food banks, co-ops, urban farms and food justice organisations. She documents the limitations of these programmes, and how institutionalising charitable food aid absolves governments of their responsibility to ensure that people have a right to food. As hunger and inequality continue to rise within advanced capitalist countries, this issue is more urgent than ever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProposing radical key policies for governments, she explores alternative community-led responses grounded in solidarity, not charity, to end the need for food aid before the indignity of food banks becomes completely normalised.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ingram","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47466251124788,"sku":"9780745350172","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/1664\/5684\/files\/IMG-1631.png?v=1769971114","url":"https:\/\/waronbooks.com\/products\/hunger-inc-building-solidarity-beyond-the-food-bank","provider":"War On Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
