Abstract

The world food system faces climate change, biodiversity loss, poverty, and malnutrition. This chapter examines global food governance's history to inform a sustainable transition. Analyzing institutions, policies, and initiatives from the 20th century onward, it identifies key issues and lessons. Dominant approaches prioritized production and trade over equity, environment, and rights. Alternative models like cooperatives, agroecology, and local food systems offer solutions. A new paradigm integrating sustainability, human rights, and justice is proposed, emphasizing policy reforms, agroecology, cooperation, and stakeholder engagement. A transformative shift in values and power is necessary for a just and sustainable food future.
