Lecture on Food Systems Worsening Malnutrition Crises Jomo Kwame Sundaram | February 15, 2023.

In this lecture, Jomo KS discusses how the current food systems are contributing to worsening malnutrition crises. He argues that the neoliberal policies of the past few decades have prioritized corporate interests and profit over public health and food security. This has led to a concentration of power in the hands of a few large corporations and a reduction in the diversity of crops and foods available to consumers.

Jomo KS also explores the various factors contributing to malnutrition, including poverty, conflict, and climate change, and emphasizes the need for a holistic approach that addresses the root causes of these issues. He suggests that there needs to be a shift towards more sustainable and equitable food systems that prioritize the needs of the people and the planet over profits. This lecture is a valuable resource for policymakers, researchers, and anyone interested in addressing the malnutrition crisis and building more sustainable food systems. The recommendations here provide a valuable framework for creating a more just and equitable food system that meets the needs of all.
