a young woman from Albania – who got the refugee status – is volunteer in the Secours Populaire (food aid). During the first confinement due to the Covid-19 in France, she continued her involvement. Here, she distributes food in squats with another volunteer, going from squat to squat by car. Facing her, a woman with their children, who depend at least partially on food aid: which means experiencing food insecurity.

Being uprooted, leaving his country because he was threatened to death, a young man from Guinea is hosted in a house where he lives in the living-room which has been shared in two part, so he can get a minimum of intimacy. After a while living in the street, he can start to cook again. Here, cooking a “soupo guerto” which he learned with his mother since his childhood. A meal with “home flavours”, adapted to food availability, and tastes of his guests. Credit: Cécile Quillien

In a squat, in the city centre of Bordeaux. Dozens of men where living there, trying to build a “home” in this precarious place. Facing plural lacks, they have to cope with, to tinker, to use their agency. Here, plastic bottles are filled with still water are stocked, in order to get around the recurrent lack of water in the kitchen. In the microwave, an inhabitant cooks rice to save time and energy, as he considered this way of cooking as simplier. Credit: Cécile Quillien

“L’alimenpédie enfantique : the little anthropologist’s Food Guide” This photo represents a book cover, and more precisely the one of an encyclopaedia (in progress) highlightening an anthropological approach to food and carried out with and for children of a kindergarden and a primary school in French-speaking Belgium (Province of Liege) by Mélanie and Élodie (researchers). Credit: Naomé Desprez
Title : “L’alimenpédie enfantique” : the first draft of some pages of the encyclopaedia The title “L’alimenpédie enfantique” is based on a French wordplay between food and encyclopaedia (foodpaedia in english), and children and researchers. Children also created the word “enfantique” in french – used in this case instead of “enfantin” – that is an alternative to the word “childisch”. This title is the one that received the most votes from children among all the titles they proposed. It was decided to include all other titles as sub-headings or on the back cover to ensure that all children's choices were represented. You can see here some examples of draft pages on different food topics that you will find in the children book. These pages are based on the children’s productions and designed by a student named Naomé Desprez.
Title : “Lunch boxes at school in French-speaking Belgium” The picture shows the diversity of ingredienst used by parents for the children’s lunch : from sweet to salty and sometimes, spicy! During anthropological workshops organized by Mélanie and Élodie (researchers) with children, the latter learned how to reconsider what they eat at school and how they eat : do we all eat the same meals ? How do children eat at school in other border or distant countries ? Why is eating so important? Credit: Élodie Razy (F2G researcher)
Title : “A Food2Gather cooking workshop at school in French-speaking Belgium (Province of Liege)” A mother living at a reception center for asylum seekers prepared a pasta salad with the children at school during the Food2Gather Belgian team pilot activities.

Title : “Children at the foodmarket as anthropologists during Food2Gather workshops” Children learned how to be anthropologists by doing fieldwork at a foodmarket that Mélanie and Élodie (the researchers) had to improvise at school because of the covid constraints preventing us from leaving the school (French-speaking Belgium, Province of Liege).

Title : “Is this slice of omelette enough for my child?” The picture shows a child slice of omelette from the canteen at a reception center for asylum seekers in French-speaking Belgium (Province of Liege). A resident in asylum seeking situation took the picture and sent it to Mélanie (researcher) to protest against what the institution gives to them to feed their children.

A man from Georgia practices urban fishing. Categorised as “illegal migrant” (without papers), he, with his family (his wife, their 2 children), largely depend on food aid networks. Practicing urban fishing is a mean to eat fresh fish which is not very present in the food aid networks, while getting the satisfaction of being partly “independent”, food speaking. Sarah Marchiset
