The corporate food regime and the fight against hunger

Abstract

The goals set by the United Nations in the fight against hunger were not met in 2015, nor will they be met in 2030, if everything continues as before. This article argues that this is because the measures proposed to achieve them do not call into question the corporate food regime in which they are applied, the result of neoliberal globalization. For both trade liberalization and financial deregulation represent obstacles that greatly hinder their success. Therefore, it argues that, as long as global corporate power is not seriously undermined, it will be difficult to achieve the second Sustainable Development Goal: zero hunger. The alternative proposed is to advance along the path of food sovereignty and agroecology.
