ICN2: Perpetuating a troubled legacy&ast

Abstract: To understand the constraints that limit the ability of the FAO and WHO to deal with the issue of hunger, it is important to revisit the discourses within the League of Nations Health Organisation, the precursor to the WHO, and the post-war emergence of FAO. The ‘marriage’ between nutrition and commerce brokered in these institutions helps explain why the world continues to be ‘awash in food’ even as millions die of hunger and suffer from malnutrition. The collaboration of the World Bank and the WTO in the ICN2 adds to the conflict of interest.
