CONTRIBUTOR @ FOOD CRISIS MAGAZINE

Despite high levels of food production, there are millions of people experiencing hunger today. International organisations, food policy experts and community leaders have sounded the alarm; however, the urgent actions needed to address this emergency are yet to be taken.

Despite its dire consequences, the food crisis is not always adequately covered by the media. Its complexity discourages sustained and nuanced reporting and, not unlike the climate crisis, journalists need to develop new tools and sensibilities when covering it. To meet this urgent challenge, we need creative approaches informed by the experiences of those at the forefront of this crisis.

Food Magazine is produced by students from the UAL Media School and participants from the Refugee Journalism Project. The magazine reports on the food crisis and individuals and initiatives aimed at addressing it in the UK and globally. Copies were distributed at Food: Responding to the Global Crisis, an evening event and interdisciplinary meeting point bringing together journalists, academics, activists and artists to explore the challenges as well as possible solutions to this crisis.
