Decent Food for All (DFfA)
Decent Food for All (DFfA)
Decent Food for All (DFfA) was a four-year integrated, partnership-based intervention designed to reduce inequalities in physical and financial access to safe healthy food in the Armagh and Dungannon Health Action Zone (HAZ) in Northern Ireland. It was funded by sfaefood.
The aims of DFfA were to
- improve the provision and consumption of affordable, safe and healthy food (particularly among the disadvantaged groups); and to
- help local communities, families and individuals achieve a balanced safe diet by providing practical, community-based and focused advice and assistance on food issues and nutrition.
DFfA addressed the three dimensions of food poverty – financial access, physical access, and access to information.
"Tackling Food Poverty" is the report of an evaluation carried out for safefood by the Institute of Public Health in Ireland (IPH). It brings together the lessons for the all-Ireland learning from the Decent Food for All (DFfA) intervention research programme.
The full results can be found in the three additional support documents. These are entitled:
- Food Culture in the Armagh and Dungannon Health Action Zone
- Description of the DFfA Intervention
