I recently participated in a discussion on food security that was hosted by the World Bank. The event was televised on regional networks as well as in Timor Leste and PNG.
It was an important and timely discussion given that there are currently 1 billion people (close to a sixth of humanity) who go to bed hungry each night.
As you’ll see in the video below, the panel didn’t always agree on the way forward and much of the disagreement seemed to be on the role of the private sector and multinationals in enabling people to claim their right to food.
