A Place for Displacement: The Power of Gastronomy Part 2 Project 2019 Stephanie Harrison Liverpool John Moores University Liverpool | UK In 2017, there were 30.6 million new refugees associated with conflict, disasters brought about by climate change and epidemics. This magnitude of displacement puts pressure on important services and requires time, money and a clear strategy on future planning.The current segregation into camps with poor facilities is not deemed successful for the inclusion of people into society who have experienced trauma.
