Deze negende editie van De Geglobaliseerde Glazen Bol gaat over voedselzekerheid in het internationale systeem van morgen. Wie gaan India en China voeden? Is er straks genoeg voedsel en wordt het op een eerlijke manier verdeeld? Is de vrije markt de beste plek om voor voedselzekerheid te zorgen, of moeten overheden zich ermee bemoeien? Ook de vraag wat we met de landbouwsubidies aan moeten (meer, of juist minder?) ligt ter tafel. Gasten zijn o.a. Flavio Valente, Paul Richards, Michiel Keyzer en Karen Soeters.

On the ninth evening we will discuss food security in the international system of tomorrow. Who will feed China and India? Will there be enough food and will it be distributed properly? Is the market the best approach to secure food now and for future generations? To what extent should governments regulate the food sector or consumption patterns? Will we get more or less agricultural subsidies?
Wilbur Perlot will discuss these questions with international panellists Flavio Valente, Paul Richards.
Economist Michiel Keyzer from the VU will discuss his point of view on partitioning of food. Baharam Sadeghi will be searching for an answer to whether people are willing to eat less meat. The outcome will be presented during the evening in a short video. Senate member for the party for animals rights (PvdD) Niko Koffeman will explain how changing consumption patterns could help in resolving the world food crisis. Furthermore the Finnish artist Tea Mäkipää will present the ninth contribution of Visual Foreign Correspondents.
