Description
Sarah Hanson was invited keynote speaker on Social Supermarkets and food insecurity. Approximately 160 people attended including influential leaders, from local farmers and producers to food waste advocates and community project coordinators. The aim was to explore solutions to food poverty, strategies for building resilient local food networks, and pathways for Suffolk to become a Sustainable Food Place. The Suffolk Food Summit was part of a broader £1.5 million initiative by The Suffolk Public Sector Leaders Group to strengthen the county’s food ecosystem over the next three years. This funding supports Community Action Suffolk (CAS) and its dedicated team in delivering on-the-ground assistance for food projects, working directly with community organisations to alleviate food hardship and ensure that nutritious, local food is accessible to all.
