"In the name of economic growth, we've sacrificed #ecosystems, and we've exhausted the women and men in the economy, by subjecting them to huge pressure from the #globalisation of competition and the deregulation of labour markets." - IPES-Food's Olivier De Schutter @DeSchutterO

"We must think of a different kind of #development: one that does not see economic growth as a precondition for everything else," IPES-Food co-chair @DeSchutterO tells @thinink.

Olivier De Schutter, also @UN Special Rapporteur on extreme #poverty and human rights:

"After some (minor) progress, with absolute numbers of people suffering from #hunger going down from 925 million in the early 1990s to 820 million in 2018, the numbers are going up again."

"Large parts of the population… are still too poor to feed themselves: however much #food there is available, unless you improve purchasing power... you will fail to reduce #hunger" - @DeSchutterO.
