About this event

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.

 

The event acts as the concluding event of an Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) funded project looking into the topic, conducted by Kelli Kennedy and Carolyn Snell of the Social Policy and Social Work Department at the University of York. Kennedy and Snell will share the outcome of their research at the webinar, as well as host the event.
