By ISN MagazineBritain’s largest supermarket is warning that the country can no longer take its food supply for granted. Tesco has joined Sainsbury’s, Aldi, Waitrose and more than one hundred organisations in calling on the UK Government to place food security alongside national priorities such as energy and defence. The message is clear: protecting the nation’s food supply has become an economic necessity rather than simply an agricultural issue. Tesco believes the UK needs a long-term strategy that protects domestic food production while strengthening relationships with international suppliers. Tesco’s decision to publicly support stronger food security policies reflects growing recognition that supermarkets are no longer simply retailers.
