Project Summary
Many experiments are conducted on giving vulnerable people access to food. But do these experiments allow true evolutions and social changes? Two levels of questions need to be explored: can these experiments improve the quality of people’s food? Do they allow them to increase their skill seton this matter, and therefore to gain autonomy and sovereignty? Do they make them actors of a sustainable transition ?
This research-action project aims to test a methodology based on community activity in order to recognize and develop the skills of people in vulnerable situations. This project is based on local experiments around food aid, to assess how these experiences contribute to increasing the skills of people in precarious situations. The aim is for these skills to empower and emancipate them in regards to food issues and other areas of their lives, and among other things for women to confirm their position in social and political spheres.
The finalization of this project will be the production of a “Popular Advocacy” to take precariousness into account in food projects aiming to improve the quality of food.
This project is open to: volunteers and professionals from food aid associations and beneficiaries of these associations. We are targeting 80 participants.
