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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Winter, Steven Guilbert, Timothy Wilkinson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1529247284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781529247282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bristol University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/21\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.43d","brand":"Michael Winter","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46489427607807,"sku":"9781529247282","price":22.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_932a6c02-9c53-421b-8296-0040ed142c98.jpg?v=1736953524","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/feeding-people-in-a-crisis-michael-winter-9781529247282","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
