The POWER OF PROCUREMENT
UN Rapporteur on the Right to Food.
Olivier De Schutter
‘Particularly in times of economic downturn ...costs are often seen as a major obstacle to making public [food] procurement schemes more consistent with right to food strategies…
‘However, certain [food] costs associated with public procurement should be treated as investments, rather than merely as expenses; and once their multiplier effects on the local economy and their positive social and environmental impacts are taken into account, they may in fact be seen as favourable to, rather than a liability for, healthy public budgets.’
