“A Long Food Movement” — to transform the world food system by 2045 — principally authored by Pat Mooney with a team including IPES-Food director Nick Jacobs, analyses how food systems are likely to evolve over the next quarter century with technological and other changes. The report notes that “hi-tech”, data processing and asset management corporations have joined established agribusinesses in reshaping world food supply chains. If current trends continue, the food system will be increasingly controlled by large transnational corporations (TNCs) at the expense of billions of farmers and consumers. The report warns that giving Big Ag the “keys of the food system” worsens food insecurity and other existential threats. Very timely, “A Long Food Movement” is an urgent call to action for the long haul.
