The 2nd UK research conference on food and poverty: Evidence for change
Tuesday, June 23, 2020 to Wednesday, June 24, 2020
Following on from our inaugural research conference on UK food insecurity in 2018, ENUF hosted the 2nd UK research conference on food and poverty over 23-24 June. Due to the Coronavirus pandemic the conference was hosted virtually. The conference theme was ‘Evidence for Change’, focussing on highlighting both the evidence base which demonstrates the need for change but also on how and what research evidence can be change-making.
The conference aimed to build understanding on how household food insecurity research can make a difference to policy, practice, and lived experience. It did this through showcasing research findings to a varied audience and exploring how to enhance the usability of evidence from the perspective of stakeholders including policy makers and practitioners. The objectives of the conference are:
To provide a forum for the presentation of recent multidisciplinary research on food and poverty that is being conducted across the UK.
To facilitate knowledge exchange and discussions of research practice between researchers and third sector organisations, policymakers and other research users.
To provide a forum for discussion on key research priorities to inform policy and practice going forward.
The conference had at its heart the importance of excellent research, collaboration and building relationships with research stakeholders. Academic paper streams featured as part of a varied programme of panel sessions, workshops and plenaries. Panel sessions included voices from within central, devolved, and local government, and civil society organisations. The conference also provided an opportunity to showcase primary research from across the UK with numerous paper sessions throughout the conference. Space was also made in the programme, following a late breaking call, for research on food insecurity since the Covid-19 crisis in the UK.
