Archbishop of Canterbury: action needed to end hunger

http://m.bbc.com/news/uk-30366020

Archbishop Justin Welby said more must be done to fight hunger in the U.K.; while some sectors of the population waste large amounts of food, others go without.

From the article:

Food is being wasted in "astonishing" amounts but hunger "stalks large parts" of the country, Justin Welby wrote in the Mail on Sunday.

He backed a parliamentary report, to be released on Monday, which aims to end hunger in the UK by 2020.
