Combining GIS technology,
fieldwork and national
databases - Sow the City
are developing maps for
the Manchester area to
reveal sites of potential
food poverty.
Sow the City have been commissioned by Manchester
City Council to investigate food poverty across the
city by mapping availability of fresh fruit and vegetable
retailers in relation to Indices of Multiple Deprivation. We
also spoke to retailers and community leaders to
understand local factors.
Food poverty and poor diet can have severe health
consequences, leading to poor physical health - heart
disease, stokes, and type 2 diabetes, and can also
impact mental health and development.
Our research will contribute to policy change and strategic
intervention, providing recommendations of where and
how to provide resources to tackle food poverty and
inequality.
