RESEARCH PROFILE

I am currently working on food and poverty, food access in areas of social deprivation, evaluation of local initiatives, and policy intervention at local and national level. I recently completed research investigating public perceptions of BSE/CJD and 'risk in food' as part of an EU funded project. My recent publications, with colleagues, include: Reconnecting Consumer, Producers and Food: exploring alternatives (2008 forthcoming) Berg; Challenging Health Inequalties: from Acheson to 'Choosing Health' (2007) Policy Press; Welfare of Food: rights and responsibilities in a changing world (2003) Blackwellls; Poverty and Social Exclusion North and South (2003) Routledge; Poverty bites: food, health and poor families (2001) Child Poverty Action Group; Food projects and how they work (1999). I publish widely in specialized and professional journals and books, write technical briefings for non-specialists, and am a regular public speaker on nutrition and poverty, or on policy responses.
