Changing Governance to Reach Global Sustainable Food Security

Abstract

The second Sustainable Development Goal aims to eradicate global hunger by 2030. From a food governance perspective this is a rather challenging ambition, to put it mildly. Nevertheless, there is a variety of different governance initiatives, ideas, mechanism, and policies that could push us towards a pathway to reach this goal. In this panel we explore and discuss some of these possible pathways. We explore new information exchange channels, such as the use of big data to monitor food production and consumption, global benchmarking techniques, accountability frameworks, and private standards for enhancing sustainable food security. We explore both the sometimes troublesome link between global goals and local implementation as well as the goals set by donor countries and the interest put forward by the receiving countries.
