How can supermarkets help end food insecurity?

The University of York is proud to host this webinar event discussing how supermarkets can help end food insecurity in an ethical and sustainable way. This webinar will look to share good practice for how businesses can engage with ending food insecurity and serves as a knowledge exchange between the academic, supermarket, and food charity sectors.
