Addressing the role of power relationships in entrenching an unsustainable and inequitable food system is key to achieving any meaningful change.

Addressing the role of power relationships in entrenching an unsustainable and inequitable food system is key to achieving any meaningful change. This session brings together stakeholders, or rather ‘rightsholders’, who represent different parts of power structures within food systems; from farmers and indigenous peoples to governments and civil society.

Panellists consider the role of power (and its increasing consolidation) in influencing people’s lived realities, and how it may constrain the realisation of each person’s full capacity (e.g. through limiting access to nutrition, or income). They also address the processes that shape power relationships as a key route to identifying how they can be changed to create greater equality.

This is an official UN Food Systems Pre-Summit event co-organised by Chatham House and Bharat Krishak Samaj (Farmers’ Forum India).
