Amid the constant upheavals of the past half-decade—from COVID-19 to the ongoing wars in Europe and the Middle East and the neo-imperial agenda of the US—one thing has remained constant: our food has become ever more expensive. These intertwined crises have, in turn, exacerbated the nutritional divide between the Global North and South, pushing many people worldwide to the verge of hunger. This seminarexplores the history of our food systems, seeking to understand how they have become vulnerable to global shocks while persistently maintaining their uneven character from 1945 to the present.
