GLOBALISING HUNGER?
Food, trade and neoliberalism
******************************
International guest ANURADHA MITTAL, co-director of the California-based
'peoples' think tank FOOD FIRST, tackles world trade and the root causes
of world hunger.
Thursday March 27, 6-8pm
Seminar Rooms 1 and 2
Storey Hall, 344 Swanston Street, City
Wheel chair accessible
Food First (www.foodfirst.org) highlights root causes and value-based
solutions to hunger and poverty, establishing food as a fundamental
human right. Anuradha Mittal's articles on food and trade have been
published in numerous national and international newspapers and
journals, bringing together the links between debt, aid, cash crops,
genetic engineering and neoliberalism to explain world hunger and
poverty. She was born in India and is currently based in the United States.
Presented by the Globalism Institute (www.rmit.edu.au/globalism) and the
Friends of the Earth Trade Campaign (www.foe.org.au).
