[SCITECHMAP.COM] Apakah ZAKAT boleh untuk membangun FOOD BANK ? Colek Judhi Prasetyo, Bayu Widyasanyata, Ahmad Syauqie, Muhammad Yuqi, Doddy Chp Review ttg jaringan bank pangan di Canada : As leading US food policy expert Janet Poppendieck argues, food charity’s primary function is one of “symbolic value” … “relieving us of guilt and discomfort about hunger”, while serving as a moral safety valve as hunger marches on. Food banks are part of the problem, not the solution to food poverty. Tellingly, Canada’s nationally institutionalised food bank network lacks empirical evidence that food charity is an effective response to systemic food insecurity. Food banks consistently run out of food, distribution is tightly rationed, pressures mount to source food, eligibility criteria are vague, volunteer fatigue grows, and the stigma of food aid keeps many away. And as Prof Valerie Tarasuk’s data shows, food bank usage significantly underestimates the prevalence of national food insecurity. And surely, channelling ever-increasing tonnes of corporate food waste to feed vulnerable people is ethically unacceptable, to say nothing of the long-term economic and social implications of creating secondary food markets. scitechmap/reports/view/795
