The Global Food and Environment Institute (GFEI) shares our November 2023 webinar recording: 'An Evaluation Toolkit for Assessing the Impact of Food Hubs'
This webinar is a follow-up to the GFEI webinar held in May 2023 that was presented by Dr Effie Papagyropoulou, University of Leeds, Food Hubs: what are they and what role do they play in fighting food poverty?
During this talk, Dr Gemma Bridge, Post Doctoral Research Assistant at the University of Leeds, provided an overview of the Food Hub evaluation toolkit. The toolkit was developed during a 2- year research project in collaboration with Leeds City Council, FoodWise, and Food Hubs across Leeds. The toolkit, which can be self-administered by Food Hubs, aims to support Food Hubs of all kinds, evaluate their activities and programmes, and highlight the benefits they provide to food systems and communities regarding food security, sustainability, health, resilience, and justice.
An evidence review, survey, in- depth interviews, and site visits were carried out. The Food Hub Impact Evaluation Toolkit was developed using the data and evidence collected. The toolkit has since been used to evaluate 10 participating Food Hubs, and case study documents were produced.
The toolkit is available to download for free as a fillable pdf or as an Excel spreadsheet - please contact globalfood@leeds.ac.uk
In addition to supporting Food Hubs to evaluate their activities and programmes, the toolkit aims to help Food Hubs to capture, collect and provide the necessary evidence base to make the case for policy support and funding. This support and funding could then help Food Hubs expand their offering, strengthen local food systems, and increase food security and sustainability of the overall food system.
Welcome and introductions by the Chair, Dr Effie Papagyropoulou Sustainable Food Networks, University of Leeds, followed by a 20-minute webinar presented by Dr Gemma Bridge, Post Doctoral Research Assistant at the University of Leeds, and 10 minutes for Q&A.
