Walden Bello, from Focus on the Global South, shows how the COVID-19 crisis exposed the fragility of the present corporate and free trade driven food supply system. Bello then argues that the pandemic could also present an opportunity to strategically transform the global food production system, in line with principles of food sovereignty.

This presentation was part of the webinar ‘COVID-19: Deglobalization and the opportunity for Food Sovereignty’, organised by Global Dialogue for Systemic Change Focus on the Global South, Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung-South Asia and Newsclick . It was broadcasted on 9 July, 2020.
