AsiaDHRRA co-organizes global videoconference on food sufficiency
By Jet Hermida on Apr 28, 2009 in DHRRA News, Food Security, Press Releases
The global videoconference entitled “Global Food Sufficiency: Towards Sustainable Food Production and Consumption” will simultaneously connect civil society and decision-makers from Asia (regional conference in Manila), Africa (regional conference in Dakar), Latin America (regional conference in Brasilia), and North America (regional conference in Washington DC) with a regional conference in the European Parliament in Brussels.
Each regional conference will provide an analysis on proposals on the key food problems of the region, possible solutions to existing food insecurity and suggestions for common global action. Each region will have a one hour slot to make its points clear with question and answer time from the other regions.
With this conference on global food sufficiency we wish to raise the question how local, regional, national and global food systems can provide sufficient and wholesome food for all. We wish to see how the current concepts of self sufficiency, food security, and food sovereignty can contribute to political and practical solutions in the fight against hunger.
