Making Agricultural Trade Sustainable

Making Agricultural Trade Sustainable (MATS) project’s goal is to identify key leverage points for changes in global agricultural trade policy that foster positive impacts of trade on sustainable development and human rights while reducing negative impacts. The project centers key United Nations sustainable development goals (SDG) including: 1) ending poverty, 2)ending hunger and malnutrition, 3) ensuring healthy lives at all ages, 6) access to safe and affordable water and sanitation, 13)combatting climate change, and 15) life on the land – protecting, restoring, and promoting sustainable ecosystems. Professor Galina Hale’s involvement in the project came from her rather new interest in sustainability of global food systems. Her unique contribution to the discussion was related to the potential financial implications of proposed policy recommendations.
