Food for Reducing Inequalities: Urban Food Sharing and Migrant Integration in Italy

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Access to food is crucial not just to fight hunger. It is a key process to foster social inclusion, in particular of fragile groups within an urban environment. Based on the analysis of specific case studies, this chapter reflects on the role of the contribution provided by urban food-sharing initiatives specifically for sociocultural integration of migrants. In particular, it explores two grassroots initiatives run in Italy between 2016 and 2019, in a moment of strong public hostility against migration. In so doing, it investigates the role played by food, commensality, and conviviality in order to foster a process of empowerment that contributes to the achievement of multiple Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and in particular SDG 10, Reducing Disequalities.
