About the event

Geneva Third Democratic Forum on the Right to Food
The Right to Food as a welfare item: Implementing Universal Basic Services

About this Event


How can we reimagine food not as a market commodity, but as a basic right: free, universal and essential?


Join us in Geneva for the Third Democratic Forum on the Right to Food, a unique three-day gathering that will chart a transformative roadmap to implement the Right to Food as a Universal Basic Service (UBS).

Anchored in the cutting-edge work of UCL’s Institute for Global Prosperity and aligned with the Doughnut Economy framework, this forum blends theory with practice, ecology with equity and policy with participation.

This event is convened by Fondazione Mater in partnership with international academics, civil society movements, and institutional actors committed to food justice.



Programme:



Day 1 – Vision & Dialogue | October 8
  • High-level keynotes
  • High-level panels on UBS and food systems transformation
  • Dialogue sessions with policy leaders, academics, and grassroots actors



Day 2 – Prototyping the Future | October 9

Six hands-on working groups to design:

  1. Legal frameworks & participatory democracy
  2. Funding and governance mechanisms
  3. Food delivery as a public service
  4. Environmental integration using Doughnut Economics



Day 3 – Action Roadmap | October 10
