The construction of a better world calls for a value-based
approach. Economic analyses of the realities of poverty and food
insecurity must be coupled with ethical refl ections on current
social and economic structures. Globalization has generated levels
of wealth never seen before, making possible—and therefore,
morally inescapable—the previously utopian task of eliminating
poverty and hunger on the planet. This is now more urgent than
ever: while rising food prices are threatening the already precarious
livelihoods of many of the world’s most vulnerable people in
the short term and this requires concerted action; proper global
governance structures and institutions related to the four interrelated
issues of food, energy, climate change, and natural resource
management will be crucial for the poor and the hungry—and,
indeed, for all humanity—in the medium and long terms.
