WTO and the Economic and Constitutional Dimensions of Food Security in India

Recently I had the opportunity to present my research paper on the "Economic and Constitutional Dimensions of Food Security in the Context of Negotiations on Agriculture Under the World Trade Organisation".

The conclusions of my research were presented at the "International Conference on Agro Biodiversity and 20 Years of WTO" in Chennai, India.

In a nutshell, I had concluded that the Agreement on Agriculture is anti-poor and anti-farmer and that the Government of India should desist from becoming a signatory to the Agreement under the WTO without substantive changes to the current draft, if only to protect the interests of the downtrodden and under-privileged sections of our country.

The full text of my research paper is at the link HERE.
