Food from somewhere
This report by IPES-Food looks at the importance of supply chains and markets which are based on small-scale producers, processors and vendors rooted in territories and communities as components of building a resilient food system which delivers food security. It highlights the damage of the dominant corporate controlled global food supply chain and offers recommendations to support more localised territorial markets.

The affordability gap for nutritious diets
This article explores the affordability gap, or the difference between a household’s actual spending on food and the lowest cost of meeting nutrient needs for that household. The authors of this study look to advance previous research from the Fill the Nutrient Gap analyses done by the World Food Programme. They encourage tracking and monitoring of the affordability gap to support better social assistance programs to make nutrient-adequate diets more affordable.

Food Deserts and Food Insecurity in the UK

Multi-method evaluation to understand food system interventions
This article uses a mixed methods approach to evaluate food system interventions which aim to raise consumption of nutritious foods. The researchers assess the Marketplace for Nutritious Foods (MNF) project which was implemented by the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) in Kenya. The project is used as a case study to open up a broader discussion on the impact of complex food system interventions and the methods used to evaluate these interventions. The author's main call is for an expansion of methods used for similar interventions, methods which build from food systems approaches. They also call for exploration of new methodological approaches from outside traditional economic and nutrition studies
