Food security: do open markets work?

A debate about whether trade liberalisation supports food security in its many dimensions.

Does liberalised trade contribute to mitigating systemic shocks? As governments seek to intervene, can export restrictions tackle inflation? What role for the WTO in reigning-in disruptive practices?

Emily Rees invites Doaa Abdel Motaal (World Trade Organization), John Clarke (European Commission), Simon J. Evenett (University of St Gallen) and Tatiana Lipovetskaia Palermo, former International Relations Secretary of the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture.
