Description
Hunger Inc.: Building Solidarity Beyond the Food Bank is a critical examination of food poverty and the inadequacy of current charitable responses. Through research and compelling narratives, Kayleigh Garthwaite and Kerry Hudson challenge the notion that food banks represent genuine solutions to hunger.
The book investigates the structural inequalities that drive food insecurity and exposes how food banks, while well-intentioned, often perpetuate dependency rather than addressing root causes. The authors advocate for a paradigm shift toward solidarity-based approaches that empower communities and challenge systemic poverty.
Drawing on interviews, case studies, and data, the work presents alternatives that prioritize dignity, mutual aid, and collective action. This book is essential reading for activists, policymakers, and anyone concerned with food justice and social inequality.
