Description:
Workshop about the challenges which the world faces concerning the global food crisis and the related threat to peace.
Numerous international reports and experts are warning against a conflict-prone and crisisridden future, sketching it in most drastic scenarios: water scarcity, droughts, declining biodiversity, soil degradation and erosion, fishery and ocean, unpredictable climate changes – especially the future threats to food production are manifold and producing thousands of migrants, leaving their homelands hoping to find better conditions for surviving in other regions, which are not able to provide them jobs and secure survival. Precarious social conditions increase the conflict potential, lead to exclusion, discrimination, racism and violence.
