Extract

This is a panel on agricultural trade; but it is not just a trade law panel. As has been clearly recognized in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are “integrated and indivisible.” Lawyers, too, are called upon to look at these complex issues through an integrated lens. Accordingly, although this panel will examine SDG #2 through the lens of trade, we will attempt to do so using an integrated and holistic perspective. After providing the contextual background, the panel will consider first, the role of export subsidies and the importance of their elimination and secondly, the broader implications of trade for food security and the actualization of SDG #2.
