FOOD SECURITY AND INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS - CRI...

People are often surprised to learn that although the current global levels of food production
are sufficient to feed all of humanity  the problems of undernourishment increase year by year
in many countries. Economic growth  while important  is not a guarantee for reducing hunger.
The intensification of income concentration worldwide  in the face of the persistence of
millions of hungry families  demonstrates that economic interest is not guided by the needs of
humanity. Moreover  the problem of food no longer refers to the lack of food alone. Many people
are still unaware that our diets are not simply choices of taste and tradition but the result
of international dynamics driven by geopolitical factors  the trajectory of capitalism  and
other ulterior forces.The authors deepen the link between international relations and food
security by exploring the humanitarian and ethical importance of a solution to the problem of
hunger  the role of the state as a strategically relevant actor in achieving food security  and
the nature of the problem of food security in a world in which the rationale guiding food
production and distribution is a capitalist one.
