In the context of 2014 designated as 'European Year Against Food Waste', my dissertation seeks to account for the different ways in which food discarded by supermarkets and markets is collected, consumed, and occasionally redistributed by the scavengers. In doing so, I analyse whether these actions are undertaken as means of subsistence for the food insecure, and/or subversion against a wasteful system.

* Please note that I am in the process of editing my dissertation (- hastily - submitted as part of my UCL MSc examination in Sept 2014), I therefore apologise for any typos, half-written bibliographical notes, partly missing references etc... . Notes and feedback welcome!
