Are you interested in food security, conflict, and development in Colombia and Latin-America? We are happy to invite you to a presentation of the Norwegian-Colombian research project “SEGURA”, funded by the Research Council of Norway. The event will take place at OsloMet May 10 2023.
“There is no peace without food security, and there is no food security without peace”.
These were the words of former president of Colombia, Daniel Santos, during a seminar at the Noble Prize Peace center in 2021. His words have become even more critical the last year: Conflict is a major obstacle to food security and that peace is a precondition for economic and social progress.
How has conflict affected food security in Colombia after the 2016 peace agreement? The new Colombian government has flagged food security as an important path for economic growth. The aim of our seminar is to present new research on the interconnection between conflict and food security in Colombia from collaboration between OsloMet and academic institutions in Colombia (the SEGURA-project). Food security has become a prioritized policy issue for new Colombian government. How can food security be developed as a policy issue between Norway and Colombia?
