N2 - Regardless of many efforts by the government and people of the United Kingdom to address
food insecurity and poverty, food inequalities in the country continue to worsen. Having
identified the limited research on the role logistics and supply chain management could play in
addressing this challenge, this study coproduces a food product for disadvantaged communities
using Plymouth as a case study and maps the supply chain for it to identify the processes and
key challenges therein. Accessibility is not a major challenge in Plymouth, but limited demand,
affordability and inconvenience are.
