Food security and international trade: unpacking disputed narratives
2015
Clapp, J.
Is trade a threat or an opportunity for food security? Longstanding debates over this question remain unresolved. This is understandable when one considers that the agricultural sector serves a range of vital functions in society. This paper seeks to shed light on this debate by providing an overview of the main opposing narratives and the rationale behind them. It does not seek to advocate one viewpoint over the other. Instead, it seeks to examine the contours of the debate with a view to uncov ering why it is so polarized, and how we might move beyond the current impasse in international policymaking.
