Food industry giants including Tesco and Danone have joined charities to call on Andy Burnham to make food security a national priority alongside energy and defence.
The letter, also signed by Sainsbury’s, Aldi, Waitrose and Co-op, charities including Barnardo’s, Amnesty International UK and WWF-UK, health campaigners, investment companies and farming organisations, warns that the next “food shock” is “not a question of if, but when”.
