Fledderjohann, Jasmine and Rathi, Ankita and Vasudev, Charumita and Mishra, Swayamshree (2025) UK Parliamentary Call for Evidence - Innovation and Global Food Security. UNSPECIFIED.

Abstract

Based on the in-depth fieldwork and insights from evidence-rich data, Food Security for Equitable Futures team has submitted their take on the latest call for evidence on Innovation and Global Food Security to the UK Parliament. The evidence highlights the importance of carefully considering socio-cultural contexts when thinking about innovation and its implementation. The marginalized communities are at the risk of being trapped in a recurring debt cycle which exacerbates economic vulnerability for low-income households, compounding food insecurity. It also talks about adverse effects on farm ecology hampering future yields, potentially threatening long-term food security.
