“…The consensus shared by both champions and critics of WTO alike has been that in practice the Agreement on Agriculture has neither created a liberal global market nor has it benefited poorer countries, whose economies depend on the agricultural sector. It has instead protected powerful countries and allowed those governments to use public agricultural funds to subsidize large transnational corporations (Häberli 2016 ; Fakhri 2020 ).…”

“…To understand the challenge ahead it is worth noting that there is no longer a globally shared understanding around trade law and policy itself. For at least the last 120 years, international trade law and policy in agriculture has always been about negotiating and renegotiating a global consensus around what counts as a good subsidy versus a bad subsidy (Fakhri 2014 ; 2020 ). Today, we are at a point where there is no longer a global consensus around agricultural subsidies and government support more broadly.…”

Whoever benefits from a trade regime in effect gains power over significant aspects of different food systems. And yet the WTO still does not provide a coherent food policy and the 2021 UN Food Systems Summit made very little space for trade policy. The degree of international trade policy discord and supply chain fragility strongly suggests that there must be new international trade negotiations around fundamental questions of principle. Seeing little benefit in reforming the WTO, this article explains how the trade agenda for the right to food could focus on territorial markets and negotiating new types of treaties, International Food Agreements.

An attempt is made in this article to determine the possible role of strategic public procurement in the promotion of local food systems. The question asked is whether the principles of competition law that regulates the EU’s single market, fully applied in the framework of public procurement, stand in confrontation with the promotion of local food systems. It has been shown that local food systems can be a valid strategical clause included in public procurement procedures, as they enhance various social and environmental general interests that provide consumer’s welfare by improving competition. The local food clause should be defined in the public procurement procedures without reference to a specific administrative territory, whether national or regional and be proportional and suitable to secure the attainment of the general interests’ objectives.
