<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%" lang="EN">Described by
many as a watershed moment, a decade has passed since a major food price crisis
shook the entire world. Back then, international prices of all major food
commodities reached their highest level in nearly 30 years, pushing the number
of people living in hunger to one billion, and compromising the fundamental
human rights of many more. And although some thought it to be an occasional
conjuncture and the language of crisis was on everyone’s lips, the truth is
that the events of 2007/2008 simply brought the cracks of an unsustainable,
broken food system into view that had been there for a long time.</span></i></p>

industrial, economic bubble unsurprisingly burst already a decade ago, and yet
we are still witnessing and experiencing its effects in our daily lives. The
world food crisis was the inevitable outcome of a model that prioritizes profit
at the expense of everything else: our lives, our rights and our nature.<span> </span>This was actually building for years and a
billion people were not only pushed to hunger because of drastic food price
volatility, but also as a result of a multi-fold crisis that grew, squeezed and
affected our food systems, climate and human rights. </i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>Progress has been made
but some of the main problems that led to the crisis still persist. What is the
role of an economic model based on commodifying the very basic elements of our
existence in all this?</i></p><p class="MsoNormal"><i><br></i></p>
