At TABLE, we are in the process of developing our new theme: power in the food system. We define this theme broadly, covering who and what shapes, controls and influences the food system and its future.
We recognise that our own biases and perspectives will influence how we think about power in the food system. The purpose of this event - which will kick off our work on power - is therefore to hear a variety of viewpoints, interpretations and understandings. We want this to be an explorative, reflective ideas-generating session, rather than one in which participants seek to ‘win’ an argument.
To this end, we have organised a panel discussion involving representatives from different sectors as follows:
- Media: Eddy Wax - Reporter covering food and agriculture for POLITICO in Brussels.
- Academia: Wendy Godek - Professor of Politics and International Relations with focus on Latin American food and agriculture politics
- Civil society: Shefali Sharma - Director of Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy (IATP) Europe
- Private: Sahil Shah - Co-founder of agri-tech company Sustainable Seaweed and policy consultant
