Lorena Lombardozzi (Open University and SOAS), Merisa Thompson (University of Sheffield) and Mark Tilzey (Coventry University)
The panel discusses the relations between Food Regimes and Food Sovereignty from three different lenses. In particular, speakers look at recent debate on economic sovereignty and the role of the state in addressing issues of food security, nutrition and power relations between actors within the food provision system. The first paper by Dr. Mark Tilzey (University of Coventry) analyses and discusses the assumptions and definitions of Friedman's food regime approach under a theoretical perspective. The second paper by Lorena Lombardozzi (panel convenor, Open University and SOAS) looks at the case of Uzbekistan to assess the role of the state in food self-sufficiency. The third paper by Dr Merisa Thompson (University of Sheffield) analyses the political discourse around food security and food sovereignty in the Anglophone Caribbean.
