Harvard Law School and the University of California at Los Angeles School of Law each last year launched programs centered on food law and policy. Now they plan to collaborate on a series of annual conferences that will bring together scholars and policymakers to examine legal questions having to do with food.
“At a time when food supply is increasingly under pressure, and when globalization and trade agreements are bringing more food products across more borders than ever before, issues of access, safety, health and security require imagination and expertise,” Harvard dean Martha Minow said. “How terrific that our leading experts here at Harvard will collaborate with our colleagues at UCLA on vital research and conferences, generating and sharing ideas and insights to strengthen access to the most fundamental human need for safe and healthy food.”
