The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations clearly defines food security as a situation not only of availability and accessibility of foodstuffs, but also of social acceptability of food access conditions. In France, the fight against food insecurity is the subject of public policies which mainly result in the distribution of food aid in the form of foodstuffs (food parcels) through charities. As currently organized, food aid often raises the question of the dignity of the recipients. In this article, we present a monographic study based on first-hand material (six years of fieldwork by students with associations) and second-hand material (analysis of specialized, legal and activity reports). We describe inspiring information systems within three French associations to concretely show how they can enhance dignity in food aid. © 2023 INFORSID. All Rights Reserved.
