Why No Thought for Food?

The culmination of a nine month inquiry evaluating the UK’s current contribution to global food security, in which FARM-Africa’s Chief Executive was a witness, has been published by The All Party Parliamentary Group on Agriculture and Food for Development. “Why No Thought for Food?” was presented in Westminster by the co-Chair of the group David Curry MP and was discussed by Olivier De Schutter, the UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food and Geoff Tansey, Joseph Rowntree Foundation Visionary and Author in front of a packed audience.

The report examines the prospects of achieving global food security by 2050 and evaluates the UK’s current contribution to meeting this. The report took evidence from a large number of expert witnesses.
