The Food Equity Centre and the People Centered Food Systems project are curating a set of webinars in 2024 on the topic of human rights for equitable food systems. The big question for the webinar series is: How do rights move us forward in achieving equitable food systems?
Our first talk focuses on human rights and the law.
Speakers:
- Oscar Cabrera, director of the Health and Human Rights Initiative and the director of the Global Center for Legal Innovation on Food Environments at the O’Neill Institute, as well as a visiting professor of law at Georgetown University.
- Biraj Patnaik, Executive Director of National Foundation for India, formerly the Principal Adviser to the Commissioners of the Indian Supreme Court on the Right to Food, and Director of Amnesty International in South Asia.
The People Centered Food Systems project (PCFS), based at Columbia University (USA), is working on research and action to better embed human rights and social equity principles in national food system transformation processes. The first phase of the project works with partners in Cambodia, Uganda, Ethiopia and Honduras, as well as at global level and sharing learning across contexts.
The Food Equity Centre brings together researchers, policy makers, practitioners and activists to collaborate in developing solutions to inequities in food systems. Initial partner organizations are based in South Africa, Brazil and the UK, as well as working with multilateral institutions at the global level.
