This interactive session invites people to explore whether or not digital tools help address food insecurity. Through a short brainstorming activity, participants will identify local challenges related to accessing food and propose digital solutions, such as apps or platforms. Designed to foster creativity and critical thinking, the session aims to guide participants to reflect critically on technological solutions for addressing food insecurity in our communities. The activity is ideal for all ages and will be held in person. All materials are provided, and no prior experience is needed
This session focuses on the deepening of food insecurity in the UK and how digital solutions are being employed to make food assistance programs more accessible. Participants will learn about food insecurity and access issues —areas where access to affordable, nutritious, and culturally appropriate food is limited—and the challenges people face in accessing food.
