CANTON -- St. Lawrence University will host William Moseley, a geography professor at Macalester College, to discuss global food crises at 7 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 23, in the Sykes Common Room, Park Street.
“The Causes and Consequences of the 2007-2008 Global Food Crisis: Neoliberal Policy Reform and Food Security in West Africa,” will address the food riots of 2007-08 by exploring the impacts of the first Green Revolution and neoliberal policy reform on the global food system.
He will also examine the rice sectors of The Gambia, Ivory Coast and Mali as well as cotton and its relationship to sorghum production in Mali.
Due to an increasing reliance on imported rice, the import-dependence exposed the vulnerability of the urban populations in The Gambia and Ivory Coast when world prices for rice spiked.
