EU trade agreements with developing countries limit citizens' right to food.
The European Union makes trade agreements with many countries, including ones that struggle with hunger. These agreements affect how food is imported and exported, which can limit these countries' ability to ensure their citizens have enough to eat. The EU's trade policies don't fully consider the right to food as a human right, as outlined in international law. This is a decision made by the EU and its trade partners, separate from World Trade Organization rules. The study suggests changes to balance the EU's trade goals with the right to food for all.
