FAWU's position on food security & the job summit,Report to the deputy president - Thabo Mbeki

Title: FAWU's position on food security & the job summit,Report to the deputy president - Thabo Mbeki
Date: 1998
Description: A strategic report outlining FAWU's critique of economic liberalization. It highlights the "dilemma" where lower food prices for consumers come at the cost of local job losses due to the inability of domestic producers to compete with imports. The report calls for a systematic balance between consumer and producer interests, centered on "household food security." It directly critiques the GEAR (Growth, Employment and Redistribution) strategy for failing to meet its targets and perpetuating poverty, while advocating for the establishment of an implementation forum based on the "Poverty and Inequality" report.
