The Geopolitics of Food Security: Shifting to Sustainable Agriculture Through Global System Change

Description

Global food security is under threat. Global political instability is a key cause, along with increasingly unpredictable catastrophic weather events and the current techno-capitalist system. So how can we avoid or mitigate food crises?

Our webinar, featuring a range of food security experts, probed this critical question.

Small-scale farming is the backbone of rural resilience to external shocks in the developing world. It has served as an effective buffer for labour disruptions in many recent crises (including the COVID-19 pandemic), by providing alternative livelihoods. But how long can this last? Small farmers have been increasingly sidelined due to neoliberal policies.

This webinar focuses on sustainable corporate system change strategies and how and why family farms and village communities, which are the traditional productive and social units of rural landscapes, should be at the centre of system change.
