Intervention at the European Parliament (12 Dec 2019) to propose a narrative change in the valuation, governance and allocation of food: from considering food as a commodity to be exclusively distributed through market mechanisms (only through purchasing power anyone can get access to food) to food as a human right, commons and public good (where food could be accessed through universal entitlements and market mechanisms). This change of narrative is based on the multiple non-monetary values of food (specially its essentialness to every human). This narrative differs from the current one: food as a pure commodity, such as screws, cement or TVs. The alternative value-based consideration of food is a pre-requisite to unlock other food policies, to redirect public subsidies and to enact laws based on the consideration of food as a human right. The consideration of food as a commodity is hegemonic within the corporate world and many governments, but it is not commonsensical within human beings. Let's restore common sense to our food system. Let's value and govern food differently.
