Lecture delivered in the Module "Global Food Policies" of the Master Food, Law & Finance at International University College, Torino, Italy (22 Feb 2017). The Global North, that used to be dubbed "Developed Countries" or "First World", is experiencing a growing pandemic of malnutrition (growing obesity and stagnant undernutrition) due to its complete reliance in the industrial food system and its driving ethos: profit maximisation out of food production. This low-cost food system is killing us and destroying Nature. Specific food policies found in the Global North will be analysed, including the huge Farm Bill (US) and CAP (EU). Amongst the topics addressed, one can mention: Can we afford a healthy diet?, the productivist paradigm, Corporate Ethos VS Public Policies, GMO Labelling in US and Civic Collective Actions for Food. At the end, a set of alternative Policy Options for the North will be presented and discussed, based on a different valuation of food: not as a commodity but a commons.
