Kane's research is critically examining food security and the role that the Precautionary Principle plays in ensuring that people have access to sufficient, safe and nutritious foods. Currently there are incongruent effects of international agreements on food security. Further disparity exists between agreements as to the role of science opposed to precaution which has created even greater uncertainty and misunderstanding between governments and international bodies.
With millions of people globally affected by hunger the international community is at odds between policies and laws that can promote or restrain developments to increase food production. At the core of debate is the application of the Precautionary Principle. It is hoped that this research will determine if the application of the Precautionary Principle within this area is efficient.
