Reviews
"Lambie-Mumford argues effectively for the state to recognise and protect the fundamental right to food and draws attention to areas in which a charitable response, while allowing an avenue through which to enact values of care, proves insufficient. It can be recommended to readers with the additional hope that it spurs further discussion about the implications of foodbanks in the wider welfare mix." Voluntary Sector Review
