The journey towards a sustainable food system: Why is land and food not treated as a human right?  

Afrikagrupperna welcomes you to the third seminar during the biodiversity week on “The journey towards a transformative sustainable food system: why is land and food not treated as a human right”! 

The global race for land continues to intensify, leading to large-scale land investments for the purpose of producing fuel and food. Land, food, and other natural resources continue to be treated as only a commodity to be exploited within a market system without the regards of the human rights violation and environmental destruction it brings forth. FAO reported that, one reason causing a decline in biodiversity is due to how we use our natural resources e.g., land, water, forest. 

Join us as we discuss Environmental and peasants/farmers’ rights, what kind of transformative food system we should have. The seminar will focus on the UNDROP with lesson and experience shared from Sub-Saharan Africa and Europe.
