This photo series by Tamer Abd Elkreem and Susanne Jaspars illustrates how the takaya, or community kitchens, evolved as the main life-saving intervention in Sudan during the war, and the role of social media and digital money transfers to support them.

In India, marginal farmers (< 1 hectare of land) and small farmers (1-2 hectares of land) own 86% of the total agrarian holdings.

In May 2026, the team submitted evidence to the Right to Food UK Commission. It highlights how access to food and related welfare support increasingly depends on digital infrastructure, devices, design and skills; and that digital exclusion serves as a barrier to realising the right to food in practice.

In partnership with The Food Foundation, this hybrid event shared findings of our research on the effects of digitalising food assistance on marginalised populations and on political and economic processes.
