A local campaign launched at the
Granville Garden and Community Kitchen on July 10th has

to ensure all Brent residents have access to safe, affordable, nutritious and
culturally-appropriatefood every day of the year across their whole lifetime.

Representatives of food-related initiatives in Brent met to discuss with Dee
Woods (co-founder of the Granville Kitchen), Fahim Dahya (Sufra NW London) and
Ian Hodson (National president of the Bakers’
Union) the best way to address food insecurity in the Borough.
Alex Colás, acting co-convenor of the
Brent Right to Food campaign, said:
Food poverty is the result of structural injustices connected to health, housing, employment and wider social inequalities. It needs systemic solutions that empower communities with public resources, including land, retail space and procurement directed toward a more just and sustainable local food system.
