Food poverty undermines physical health, social participation and dignity. Whereas most studies treat affected individuals as respondents, Participatory Action Research (PAR) invites them to act as co-researchers. This article reflects on PAR methodology by discussing two PAR projects: one in the city of Bern (Switzerland) and one in Almere (the Netherlands). Both projects engaged adults experiencing poverty to discuss their dietary practices, re…

Food from home can increase feelings of belonging and act as a source of comfort for people who move to another country and their children.

To operationalise this theme in a European urban food governance context we adopt Nancy Fraser’s three-dimensional theory of justice: economic redi…
