Inhalt: Making change is never easy. In New York City, the largest in the United States with over eight million people, West Side Campaign Against Hunger (WSCAH) has focused on making sure all New Yorkers have access with dignity to a choice of healthy food and supportive services. Serving almost 75,000 people per year, WSCAH has a history of innovation in emergency feeding. From building a customer centric shopping experience almost three decades ago for its customers, to more recent community-based delivery, to advocacy efforts on the city and state level, to collective purchase models, WSCAH’s efforts can be seen as a case study in testing out strategies to more impactfully and sustainably change the emergency feeding system in the United States and beyond

Inhalt: This chapter explores, analysing the case of Spain, the often-held assumption that a strong agricultural cooperative sector in a country correlates with robust food security. The Mediterranean country has a strong agricultural cooperative sector, being one of the top co-operators in farming in Europe. Spain is consistently ranked as the second country in terms of the number of agricultural cooperatives and the third in terms of members and employees. Data on both the agricultural cooperative sector and on food insecurity levels in Spain are presented and discussed. The findings indicate a tension between cooperative principles and the market pressures these farmers’ organisations face to survive in a globalised food system, in a context of rural depopulation and raising production and distribution costs. These tensions raise complex questions on the ability of agricultural cooperatives to contribute to food security and sustainability, such as: food security, a global or national endeavour? Security for consumers or for producers? These tensions are explored, alongside a reflection on the different types of agricultural cooperative models and the socio-economic and environmental impacts of their structure, growth models and activities. Particular attention is paid to multi-stakeholder cooperatives, communal land use cooperatives and micro-cooperatives in the context of food security and sustainability. The chapter ends with some conclusions and policy recommendations

Inhalt: "Events such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine have drawn the subject of food security firmly into the public eye. This timely Handbook examines and responds to this pertinent topic, offering calculated solutions to food insecurity. Exploring an international range of perspectives surrounding food security, the Handbook of Food Security and Society illustrates clear links between food and broader social welfare policy and economic determinants. Chapters describe histories of food security, its measurement and question the role of movements, such as charitable organisations, that have been involved in the food security debate. They resolutely locate food welfare as a fundamental human right. This comprehensive Handbook will be essential for politics, economics and social policy academics and researchers seeking to gain a clearer understanding of food security history and policy. It will additionally be beneficial to specific practitioners, such as nutritionists and policy makers, working to understand key connections between welfare strategies, wellbeing and food security"--
