Affordable Food Projects (AFPs) are membership-based channels which supply subsidised food and non-food essentials in low-income neighbourhoods, where access to affordable food is limited. They come in all shapes and sizes and include community shops, pantries and vegetable box schemes, with distinct operational models. Members usually pay a small fee to join and can choose from the products on offer. The main membership criterion is geographical area, rather than means-testing as often used by food banks. Indeed, some AFPs aim to cater to all, rather than only people experiencing food insecurity.

This brief showcases Affordable Food Projects (AFPs) in the city of Brighton & Hove, illustrating how they can be an alternative to conventional food banks while providing a pathway towards more inclusive, equitable and sustainable food provision in the context of food insecurity.
