Summary

This study tests whether setting up affordable food markets in low-income parts of Glasgow helps residents buy and eat more fruits, vegetables, fish, and fibre-rich foods. Researchers will compare areas with and without a market, tracking food purchases and diet over six months. The project also includes cooking demos and food activities to boost engagement and food skills.

Active substance

What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could offer a scalable way to improve diet and reduce health inequalities in deprived urban areas.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study in two Glasgow neighbourhoods, so results may not apply elsewhere. Dietary changes depend on many factors beyond market access.
