The research program of the DDSA Chair focuses on the legal aspects of the concept of sustainable global food security. More specifically, it examines legal instruments for the protection and enhancement of agricultural and food diversity, aiming for greater coherence in agri-food law.
The continuation of research work for the 2025–2030 period is structured around three axes:
- Contributing to the development of strong law on agricultural and food diversity and sustainability, particularly through the promotion of the Proposal for an International Convention on Agricultural and Food Diversity and Sustainability;
- Strengthening the constructive relationship between agricultural and food production and environmental protection; and
- Promoting the consideration and integration of sustainable food security in international trade.
The research program under the aegis of the DDSA Chair focuses on local, national, regional and international law, knowing that it is difficult, not to say impossible from now on, to establish a clear boundary between these major areas of law, each of them continuously nourishing and influencing the others in a multidirectional way.
