There is an international movement which aims to end food insecurity  and promote social and environmental justice. Many of the answers to the  key questions of hunger and health, environmental degradation, and  inequality are already answered; the problem is putting them into  practice. The economic and political power structures and institutions  that dominate global agriculture and the inequalities in land ownership  create serious obstacles to transformation of the food system.  The UK  is implicated in this, through its own agribusiness corporations,  colonial legacy in land grabbing, and consumption patterns that  aggravate social and economic injustice and environmental destruction.

We  have seen in previous  seminars that people in the UK are also  struggling  against a system that harms the environment, produces poor  quality food, and exploits agricultural and food industry workers.  Instead we aim for  a transformation of the food system to benefit us  all.   What can we learn from what is happening in the Global South?
