New world order for food security: From “feeding the world” to “securing our own supply”?


Watch the recording: On 3 March 2026, Dr. Lena Kaufmann contributed to the dialogue 'New world order for food security: From “feeding the world” to “securing our own supply”?', co-organised by Wageningen University & Research and Pakhuis de Zwijger, Amsterdam.

Description of the event: Global food debates are shifting from efficiency and low prices toward food security and control. Governments and companies increasingly aim to reduce dependencies and protect national supplies, affecting global availability. Power in the food system now extends beyond producers to those controlling trade routes, logistics, reserves, and key inputs like fertiliser and seeds. These changes hit import-dependent countries hardest, especially in the Global South. This dialogue, organised by Wageningen Social & Economic Research and Pakhuis de Zwijger, explores how shifting power shapes global food security and how food can remain accessible and affordable for everyone. Join our panelists from different continents, from Africa and South East Asia to South America and Europe in our dialogue.
