Examining the Ethical and Geopolitical Context of Global Food Security Policy

Abstract

The aim of this review (writen in the summer 2023) is to stimulate the critical reflection of policy experts, academics, and civic activists in the field of food security and focus our attention to broader ethical and geopolitical aspects of food security debate. The critical comments of the review particularly refer to the final version of the report _Collective Action for Ending a Collective Problem: A Multi-stakeholder Project on Global Food Security_ published on 23rd July 2023 by the team of the Dublin City University led by Prof Phillip McDonagh. https://www.dcu.ie/sites/default/files/inline-files/Report%20-%20final%20%283%29.pdf One of the reasons for publishing this review at Queios is that this review was taken out of team discussion by the editors of the Report during its final stage, which seriously reduced the critical debate about its content and about some political-ethical aspects of food security in the current tense historical context, especially with regards to open wounds of the disastrously inhumane Putin´s war against Ukraine. The author of this review welcomes any feedback from both members of the Report team and general public, policy experts, academics or anybody involved in the area of food security theory and practice.
