Attending the Food Poverty Event organised by Healthwatch Dudley and Black Country Food Bank was a great reminder that Knowledge is power. Especially when working with communities and delivering workshops around food and nutrition.
Many people want to eat better but don’t know where to start or how to manage it within their means.
Food poverty isn’t just a hunger problem; it’s a barrier which impacts everything else, especially the 'lack of access to nutritious food'
The biggest takeaway is that food poverty goes far beyond an empty stomach and creates a cycle affecting a person's well-being and mental health.
