The high rates of food poverty, or food insecurity, in Ireland, and the different types of response are outlined by Tara Kenny, PhD Candidate in the Department of Geography, UCC. This conversation illustrates the complexities involved and the inadequacies of government policies, which rely on the charitable sector to help feed people caught in food poverty. Dr Richard Scriven also discusses community gardens with Tara, and the social role they can play.
