Abstract

Food poverty (inability to afford or access a healthy diet) is a public health emergency, manifesting as a short-term dilemma of accessing food alongside longer-term effects of relying on poor nutritional quality foods to satiate hunger and worrying about food running out because of lack of money. The study aimed to predict what factors might predispose people to this condition by enquiring about respondents’ food poverty experiences.
