Nationally representative estimates of food insecurity during Covid‐19
The purpose of this paper was to measure the prevalence of food insecurity (FI) in Australia during the COVID‐19 pandemic using the 8‐item Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES). Employing the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) survey, Rasch models alongside a discrete method were used to investigate the severity of FI and robustness of the 8‐item FIES during 2020–2021. Our results indicate that during 2020–2021, 6.47% of…
How do children perceive and understand the experience of household food insecurity? A narrative review of the literature
The “who” and “why” of dumpster diving for food in wealthy industrialised countries – an international scoping review

As a result, these dumpsters have become opportunistic sources of food through dumpster diving. The authors' scoping review aimed to document the people that are dumpster diving and why these people engage in this potentially illegal practice. Design/methodology/approach A database search spanning 12 years yielded 29 articles for review. F…

There has been sparse research into child food insecurity that incorporates children's own perspectives, as adults are often interviewed as child proxies. While a nuanced, child-centred understanding of food insecurity is needed to inform effective policy and program responses, little is known about Australian children's firsthand understanding…

Migration, Stress and the Challenges of Accessing Food

In the transition country (Iran/Pakistan), …
Sustainable’ Rather Than ‘Subsistence’ Food Assistance Solutions to Food Insecurity
South Australian (SA) food charity recipients' perspectives were sought on existing services and ideas for improvement of food assistance models to address food insecurity. Seven focus groups were conducted between October and November 2017 with 54 adults. Thematically analysed data revealed five themes: (1) Emotional cost and consequences of seeking food relief; (2) Dissatisfaction with inaccessible services and inappropriate food; (3) Returning…
A snapshot of the scope of obesity prevention practice in Australia
Community-based initiatives (CBIs) that build capacity and promote healthy environments hold promise for preventing obesity and non-communicable disease, however their characteristics remain poorly understood and lessons are learned in isolation. This limits understanding of likely effectiveness of CBIs; the potential for actively supporting practice; and the translation of community-based knowledge into policy. Building on an initial survey (201…
