This report highlights the sizeable gaps in government and third sector data when it comes to knowing who is going hungry, where they are and what is being done about it. It also draws together data sets to paint a picture of hunger in the UK today, where food price inflation currently stands at 13.1%.
The report is accompanied by a digital tool – embedded below – that shows some of the variety of open data held at national and local authority level across England. It allows users to see how various parts of England rank across the food poverty indices and examine measures of food poverty across individual local authorities.
