The Struggle for Food Security in the 20th Century

Join us for an insightful and thought-provoking event with Lizzie Collingham as she examines the historical significance of food security in the context of conflict and war. Drawing on her extensive research, Dr. Collingham will delve into the tumultuous decades of the 1930s and 1940s, where the pursuit of food security became a driving force behind many conflicts and even served as an engine of war.

Through her analysis, Dr. Collingham will explore the lessons we can learn from WWII when it comes to addressing the issue of food security in the world today. She will offer new perspectives on the challenges that we face in ensuring that everyone has access to nutritious and sustainable food, and will encourage us to think critically about how we can work towards a more equitable and peaceful future.
