WU Wien

How to explain the rapid expansion of food charity institutions such as food banks, social supermarkets, and soup kitchens in Western welfare states in the last decades? To what extent have they gained importance in the context of the COVID-19 crisis or the cost-of-living crisis? What is the relationship between the rise of food charity and welfare state transformations? And what role do the dynamics of affective economies play in food  charity’s consolidation and proliferation? The conference critically explores these questions,taking food charity as a contested political site.
