As @TrussellTrust’s UK #Foodbanks network expects to give out 6 food parcels/minute this winter,Canadian Graham Riches - ow.ly/ngKF50BpKYa - says foodbanks not solution to food insecurity but need a universal basic income. See @FoodEthicsNews foodethicscouncil.org/resour…

Canada must eliminate food banks and provide a basic income after COVID-19

Food insecurity is income insecurity. After COVID-19, we must no longer tolerate the inequities of corporate charity and the stigma associated with relying on society’s leftovers for those in need.
