What will TTIP mean for food and climate?

Confused by the TTIP (the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership)? Read on for Vicki Hird's explanation.

Food Climate Research Network advisory board member Vicki Hird has written a blog post for the FCRN on what this treaty between the EU and the USA will mean for food and climate. Negotiations began in June 2013 and are expected to conclude in 2016 and have caused concern among food and climate campaigners. See other Sustain news items on TTIP.
