Campaign Challenges Public to Live on £3 of Food a Day
A new initiative reported by BBC Business invites participants to experience the reality of food insecurity by limiting their daily food spending to £3.
A campaign highlighted by BBC Business is asking members of the public to try living on just £3 worth of food a day, according to the broadcaster's report.
The initiative aims to give participants a sense of what it is like for people who face food insecurity on a daily basis, the report said.
According to BBC Business, the challenge is intended to raise awareness of the financial constraints faced by those who struggle to afford adequate food, though further details of the organisers and scale of the campaign were not specified in the available report.
BBC Business did not provide additional information on how many people are participating or the duration of the challenge.
