About

The pandemic situation has greatly aggravated hunger and food insecurity in numerous nations. Even in so-called developed countries, the ranks of people in search of food 'help' are common, denoting the need for progress and effectiveness in guaranteeing adequate food and nutrition as a Human Right. The post-pandemic period announces itself as equally worrying in this aspect. Furthermore, an immediate look at issues involving food production compatible with nutrition and planetary sustainability is required. In this context, the debate on the directions to be adopted, with the urgency that the theme requires, becomes imperative. What possibilities are there for treading the path of conscious hope that will safeguard today without losing sight of intergenerational justice?
