Structural access to sufficient food is valued in the SCBA model at €2,790 per household per year. This model value translates basic security into a social benefit, allowing the effect of food initiatives to be compared with public investment and other social costs and benefits.
The amount is not a payment automatically made to a household. It is a valuation parameter within the exploratory social cost-benefit analysis. It shows the value that structural food access can represent alongside rescued food flows, health and social support. Source: Exploratory SCBA of food initiatives in Amsterdam-Noord, New Economy.
