Abstract
Previous research has suggested that availability and price are major determinants of food choice for low income groups. In this paper we report on the availability and price in rural Northern Ireland (selected areas in the Armagh and Dungannon Health Action Zone) of a basket of 53 staple food items. This food basket study forms a component of the comprehensive research and evaluation programme, 'All-island learning from the Decent Food for All Programme' which runs in parallel with the Decent Food for All programme. Launched in 2003 and implemented by the Armagh and Dungannon Health Action Zone, DFfA aims to address inequalities in access to safe and healthy food in the Armagh and Dungannon areas of Northern Ireland.
