Our global food system is broken, and anyone who takes the time to look at it can see this. The main thing that makes it obvious to even a casual observer is that we actually have more than enough agricultural output each year to feed the entire world – and yet hundreds of millions of people across the globe continue to be hungry. It should be an outrage on all of our lips, but it’s actually mostly swept under the carpet and ignored by those of us who are fortunate enough to have food on our plates. However, the UN has started to take notice, with the special rapporteur on the right to food, Olivier de Schutter recently releasing a very detailed report on the matter.
