The fragility of the 'just-in-time' food system was seemingly exposed yet, as the pandemic progressed in the UK, there were remarkably few food shortages. This book reveals the changing patterns of food provision in the UK during that period, looking at how diets changed and how retail, processing, distribution and production businesses adapted. But beneath the apparent logistical success story, there were injustices as the more vulnerable struggled to access good quality food and some businesses received inadequate help. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The authors consider the winners and losers in a time of rapid social change, the lasting impacts on the UK food system and lessons to be learned for a food system dependent on imports and large retailers and with a high burden of diet-related health issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichael Winter OBE is Glanely Professor of Agricultural Change at the University of Exeter and Chair of Devon's Local Nature Partnership.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Steven Guilbert is Research Impact Fellow at the University of Exeter. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Timothy Wilkinson is Research Fellow at the Centre for Rural Policy Research, University of Exeter \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Matt Lobley is Professor of Rural Resource Management and Director of the Centre for Rural Policy Research at the University of Exeter. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Catherine Broomfield is Research Associate at the Centre for Rural Policy Research at the University of Exeter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 204\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.43 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 21, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53248890175795,"sku":"9781529247282","price":46.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/Q3PPhVvTWN9781529247282.webp?v=1776317217","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/feeding-people-in-a-crisis-the-uk-food-system-and-the-covid-19-pandemic-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
