For many, food seems to be a daily routine. However, food equals also insecurity, health problems, climate change, poor working conditions and multiple interconnected challenges that define the future of people and the planet.  

Learn from academics and practitioners about the key legal and policy aspects defining how food production, circulation and consumption are organised and governed in today’s globalised world. Develop a holistic perspective, and deepen your knowledge about food law, policy and their links with sustainability, human rights and people’s agency.  

With one academic week in Antwerp and one practitioners-based week in Rome, the course provides theoretical fundamentals and an exceptional hands-on exploration of global food law, policy and governance, with visits and interactions with representatives of the Rome Based Agencies, international NGOs, the European Union, etc.
