A senior Renfrewshire Council officer will be appointed food champion as part of the response to the cost of living crisis.
The move was agreed after a candidate warned people are facing a choice of "eat or heat" at a full council meeting on Thursday.
Alison Ann-Dowling, standing for re-election in Houston, Crosslee and Linwood, urged the local authority to "prioritise food justice" as it seeks to help those in the community struggling to pay bills and feed their families.
