Foodscapes [1] aims to explore how arts intervention and cultural engagement can help address social and economic exclusion, food poverty, and sustainability. It has been funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council/Economic and Social Research Council Connected Communities programme and runs from January 2013 to December 2013.
The project worked with community partners to develop an intervention around food, with an artist to develop creative exchange with participants, the research team and other stakeholders. It involved a range of people beyond the research team to engage people in cultural experiences that stress the significance of food and nutrition (for example, MTP, ELM).
