The world is confronting an escalating food and water crisis, as freshwater resources are increasingly strained by desertification and irregular precipitation patterns. As the disparity in food and water consumption between the global North and South expands, more basic solutions to this issue are unavoidable.
BRIQ Belt and Road Initiative Journal invites original submissions from scholars, policymakers, and experts that concentrate on new ideas and strategies to tackle the food and water issue in developing nations, as detailed below:
- The correlation between the policies and practices of the global North and the unequal distribution and gradual depletion of food and water resources.
- The influence of climate change on food and water security, particularly the effects of imperialist-driven industrialization and resource extraction on developing nations.
- The function of emerging nations in safeguarding food sovereignty and water rights against imperialist domination of agricultural and water systems.
- Solutions from the Global South encompass sustainable agricultural methodologies, water management systems, and policy frameworks that promote local need and resilience.
- The capacity of South-South cooperation and solidarity to tackle food and water crises, diminish reliance on imperialist systems, and establish a more equitable global order.
We invite policymakers, specialists, and academics from fields including political economics, geopolitics, international relations, sociology, and history to contribute to our dossier. Submissions of articles are permitted in both Turkish and English.
