What exactly is a food crisis? Is it a technical problem that scientific innovation can solve or is it the result of social injustice? Food security can’t be provided without rethinking the world food system, says journalist and political thinker David Rieff. Rieff will discuss his current study on hunger, money and justice with philosopher of ethics Corine Pelluchon, who believes that ethics and justice are at stake each time we lift our fork. They will also question anti-famine policies implemented by world organizations (such as the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations or the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Clinton Global Fund) and governments, as well as alternatives to the food establishment, including the anti-globalization movements.
