| Impact statement: This article examines the relationship between the 2008 global food crisis and stalled agricultural trade liberalisation under the WTO. The available abstract-level summaries indicate that it argues lacklustre agricultural trade reform contributed to distortions in food distribution and price pressures, while also emphasizing that trade liberalisation alone is not a complete solution to food insecurity. The article is important because it connects agricultural trade law, food security, and reform of global trade governance, showing how protectionist policies and weak liberalisation can worsen vulnerability in food-importing and developing economies. | Collaboration: Partner University | Keywords: global food crisis, agricultural trade liberalisation, WTO, food security, Doha Round, agricultural trade, trade reform, protec |
