LSE LAW PUBLIC EVENT
The coming food Revolution: The transformative power of the right to food
Professor Olivier De Schutter (University of Louvain)
Chair: Dr Margot Salomon
Our food systems are failing to deliver what they promised. There is an ample supply of cheap calories. But there is undernutrition on a large scale in developing countries, obesity as a result of dietary patterns in rich countries, massive ecological destruction, and all over the globe a meticulous and systematic destruction of peasantry. Technical fixes will not suffice to ensure that food systems are reformed to deliver well-being and health, and that they respect ecological boundaries. What is needed is a combination of food democracy and social innovations. The human right to food can guide these efforts at transforming food systems.
