How
- Issues are addressed using a multidisciplinary approach: political science, law, economics, and nutrition.
- The educational format combines lectures, round tables or debates, workshops, seminars, simulations, field trips and public networking events.
Why
- Food security must be addressed from a global perspective, as this allows us to move beyond the divide between developed and developing countries by shifting the focus from location to scope.
- Sugar, one of a number of controversial foods, is the focus of competing local, national, and international interests, raising political, legal, economic, and social issues.
- Sugar is essential to the brain and muscles but is also associated with a number of public health problems around the world.
