By emphasising a multi-stakeholder approach to political decision-making, international institutions have enabled corporate actors to dominate the conversation about how and what we eat. But addressing hunger and malnutrition requires a strategy that focuses on human rights and government accountability.
It can provide a wider choice of green products such as energy saving appliances, e-vehicles, and sustainable building materials.
