This event, part of the Global Institutes Forum series organised by the Brazil, China and India Institutes at King’s, will examine the issues of food and hunger from the vantage point of these three major emerging economies. Providing a holistic perspective on the issue of food security, the panel will look at questions ranging from agricultural production and sustainability, domestic and global food markets, and
the extent to which government interventions intended to prevent hunger among vulnerable populations have been successful. The panel will consider the particular contributions of Brazil, China and India to the
situation of food security at the global level, as well as the domestic context within each country.

Speakers: Dr Andres Mejia Acosta (Institute of Development Studies, Sussex), Ruth Kelly (Economic Justice Policy Advisor, Oxfam), Steve Wiggins (Overseas Development Institute) 

Venue: Anatomy Lecture Theatre (K6.29), Strand Campus

Time: 18.30-20.00

Since 2001, the civil liberties of British citizens have been progressively eroded. Among other examples, the Extradition Act (2003) allows individuals to be extradited to another country for actions that are not criminal in the UK, and without prima facie evidence of a case against them being presented in a British court. This Act can result in long periods of detention without charge (British citizens have been detained for up to eight years).
