The Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics, along with the Bloomberg School of Public Health and the Nitze School of Advanced International Studies, launched the Global Food Ethics Project to take on the challenge of working through conflicting visions of what it means to feed the world ethically and find a concrete path forward even in the absence of consensus about ethical commitments and values.
The main product of this three-year project (2013-2015) is the 7 by 5 Agenda for Ethics and Global Food Security. This report is the result of an unprecedented undertaking: gathering a diverse, international, and influential Working Group of experts to build a research and policy agenda for global food ethics that would make a significant, practical contribution to global food security. We put forward seven important and tractable projects to make progress on ethics and global food security in five years. The report featuring the 7 projects and more information about the GFE project can be found here: http://www.bioethicsinstitute.org/globalfoodethics/the-7-by-5-agenda-for-ethics-and-global-food-security?doing_wp_cron=1463508526.2989029884338378906250
