Food Bank Nations
In the world’s most affluent and food secure societies, why is it now publicly acceptable to feed donated surplus food, dependent on corporate food waste, to millions of hungry people? While recognizing the moral imperative to feed hungry people, this book challenges the effectiveness, sustainability and moral legitimacy of globally entrenched corporate food banking as the primary response to rich world food poverty. It investigates the prevalenc…
Les banques d'aliments et l'effondrement des garanties minimales de l'assistance sociale au Canada
L'approvisionnement des pauvres en nourriture au Canada est devenu une préoccupation majeure des organisations bénévoles, comme l'atteste la rapide croissance du nombre de banques d'aliments. Celles-ci visent à collecter, entreposer et distribuer à des organisations charitables capables de les utiliser à bon escient, des surplus d'aliments qui autrement seraient gaspillés. Les banques d'aliments se perçoivent généralement comme complémentaires au…

Thinking and acting outside the charitable food box
From a food-supply standpoint, the 30 member states of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) – the world's rich club – can reasonably claim to be self-sufficient. Issues of food access are met through publicly funded social safety nets, and, for those who fall through the cracks, the emergency food-aid system, increasingly institutionalised as charitable food banks. Despite its best intentions, charitable food banking i…
Bringing home the right to food in Canada
We offer a critique of Canada's approach to domestic food security with respect to international agreements, justiciability and case law, the breakdown of the public safety net, the institutionalisation of charitable approaches to food insecurity, and the need for ‘joined-up’ food and nutrition policies. We examined Canada's commitments to the right to food, as well as Canadian policies, case law and social trends, in order to assess Canada's per…
Food Banks and Food Security
In the past twenty years food banks have established themselves as one of the fastest–growing charitable industries in first world societies. As institutionalized centres or clearing houses for the redistribution of donated and surplus food they have emerged as a key frontline response to the growing problem of food poverty and inequality. As welfare states have been restructured and cut back and basic entitlements have been denied, food banks ha…
Window on the world. From modest rights to commodification in Canada's welfare state
This paper examines the rise and decline of Canada's welfare state from 1945 to the end of the century. The years to the mid-1960s were marked by the introduction of an array of social programmes that produced a system inferior to that of the major western European countries, but distinctly superior to that of the United States. These developments gave 'modest social rights' to Canada's residents, whilst not fundamentally challenging the market b…
Advancing the human right to food in Canada
Rising unemployment, shrinking public welfare
Economic restructuring and rising unemployment are creating a new context for social work practice. No longer can it be assumed that adequately paid employment will provide a foundation for rehabilitation and successful practice. The issues raised for social work are explored by examining the welfare policy and practice implications of the application of market ideology and increasing joblessness in Canada in the 1980s drawing parallels with econ…
