Abstract

Regardless of many efforts by the government and people of the United Kingdom to address food insecurity and poverty, food inequalities in the country continue to worsen. Having identified the limited research on the role logistics and supply chain management could play in addressing this challenge, this study coproduces a food product for disadvantaged communities using Plymouth as a case study and maps the supply chain for it to identify the processes and key challenges therein. Accessibility is not a major challenge in Plymouth, but limited demand, affordability and inconvenience are.
