The debate is heating up: How can we achieve sustainable food systems? After all, there is a great deal at stake: the climate, our food security, health, agriculture, biodiversity, fairness. Trade rules are a key lever to foster sustainable and diverse food systems and curb unsustainable ones – and Switzerland’s Federal Constitution stipulates their use for this purpose, says Elisabeth Bürgi Bonanomi, senior legal expert at CDE. Together with a research team, she now presents how corresponding rules could be designed in accordance with international law.

Die Diskussion kommt auf Hochtouren: Wie gelangen wir zu nachhaltigen Ernährungssystemen? Denn es geht um viel: das Klima, unsere Ernährungssicherheit, Gesundheit, Landwirtschaft, Biodiversität, Fairness. Handelsregeln sind ein wichtiger Hebel, um nachhaltige und vielfältige Ernährungssysteme zu fördern und nicht-nachhaltige zu verhindern, meint Elisabeth Bürgi Bonanomi, Handelsexpertin am CDE. So würde es auch die Bundesverfassung vorsehen. Gemeinsam mit einem Forschungsteam präsentiert sie nun, wie sich entsprechende Regeln völkerrechtskonform gestalten liessen.
