Poppendieck’s seven deadly ‘ins’.
| The seven ‘ins’ + inequity | How they manifest |
|---|---|
| Insufficiency | Depends on individual donations or industry food surplus not related to demand but supply driven. |
| Inappropriateness | Charity to people and dependency on food donations/surplus food. Reliance of food aid charities on what is available that week and many find it necessary to source food from elsewhere. |
| Nutritional inadequacy | Inconsistency of supply makes it hard to plan for a healthy intake or food basket of goods. |
| Instability | Reliance on food donations whether local food donations or from the food industry. |
| Inaccessibility | Location of food banks, opening hours. Assumes that the charities supplying food through luncheon clubs etc. are meeting the need. There is a hidden or unmet need. Gatekeepers control access to the system. |
| Inefficiency | Redistribution of charitable food donations/surplus food is unsustainable and does not address the underlying causes of food poverty. |
| Indignity | Associated stigma of receiving charitable food aid as opposed to the right to food choice in a socially acceptable way. |
| Inequity | Feeding people versus providing people with the means to feed themselves. Food banks are not in every town or village and opening hours may mean they are not accessible to all. |
