Pakistan has launched its first-ever university-level course focused on food legal systems, marking a major step in addressing food governance, sustainability, and public interest through academic study. The course will begin in February 2026 at Kinnaird College for Women, Lahore, and will be offered through the Nadira Hassan Law Department.
The course has been developed by Environmental and Animal Rights Consultants Pakistan (EARC Pakistan), the country’s first animal and environmental law firm and research think tank, in collaboration with Rizq, a leading social enterprise working on food security, food systems transformation, sustainable agriculture, and climate resilience.
The programme treats food not just as a source of nutrition, but as a legal, political, environmental, and ethical system shaped by history, power structures, markets, and governance. Drawing on law, policy, environmental studies, and ethics, the course examines how food systems are designed, regulated, and contested in Pakistan and across the Global South.
Set against Pakistan’s growing challenges of food insecurity, climate stress, environmental degradation, and public health concerns, the course explores the colonial roots of food and agricultural laws in South Asia and how these frameworks continue to influence modern governance. It analyzes the role of legal, corporate, and institutional actors in food regulation, while also addressing food safety, public health enforcement, environmental sustainability, climate impacts of food production, and animal welfare concerns.
Participants are encouraged to rethink Pakistan’s food system through the lenses of justice, sustainability, and law, with a focus on legal and policy pathways that support more equitable and resilient food futures. The course aims to connect academic theory with real-world systemic challenges, presenting food as a key site of power, rights, and responsibility.
As a first-of-its-kind academic offering in Pakistan, the course is designed for law students, policy practitioners, researchers, development professionals, and others working in food governance and public interest fields. By placing food at the intersection of law, environment, ethics, and development, the initiative seeks to help build a new generation of legal and policy thinkers equipped to address one of Pakistan’s most pressing systemic challenges.
WELCOME TO FOOD LAW EDUCATION AND AWARENESS PROGRAMMES INITIATED BY AN INSTITUTION.IT IS THE FIRST ONE COLLEGE OR THE UNIVERSITY THAT HAS SEEN THE ISSUE SERIOUSLY WITH ITS CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES AND THE SHORT TERMS AND THE LONG TERMS IMPACT OF THE FOOD IF NOT GOOD.
SCIENTISTS BELIEVE THAT IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE AND IN WHICH CONDITION IS YOUR HEALTH THEN SEE YOUR CHART OF FOOD WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN EATING SINCE MORNING TO GOING TO BED.THIS DAY REPORT WILL HELP YOU KNOW ALL SORT OF POSSIBILITIES YOU MAY FACE AS THE HEALTHY OR THE SICK/ILL NEED TO GO TO THE DOCTOR OR HAVE REST AS THE GOOD MAN AT HOME. SINCE MY CONCERN IS WTER AT THE MOMENT SO I WILL TALK ABOUT THEE WATER AS IT HAS BEEN ADMITTED AS THE MAJOR FOOD AND HAS THE MAJOR ROLE IN MAKING AND BREAKING THE CHEMISTRY OF YOUR BODY,THAT MAY SEND YOU TO A DOCTOR OR LET YOU HAVE REST AT HOME.
I HOPE THE INSTITUTION WILL ALSO TAKE CARE OF THE ISSUE OF THE WATER WITH REFERENCE TO” WE ARE MADE OF MORE THAN 70% WATER”.
THE PRESENT CONDITION OF THE WATER USED AT HOME OR THE COMMERCIAL PLACES IS NOT GOOD EVEN IF SUPPLIED BY THE RENOWNED FACTORIES AND HAS BEEN POSED AS THE MAJOR RISK FOR THE HEALTH BECAUSE OF ITS COMPOSITION OF DIFFERENT MATERIALS AND THE PROCEDURES APPLOED FOR MAKING IT CLEAN AND USABLE.
FILTER WATER DOES NOT HELP YOUR NOR SAVE YOU BUT KILL YOU NOT GENTLY BUT OPENLY.BUT WHAT WE CAN DO HERE IN THIS CASE WHEN ACCORDING TO MUNIR NIAZI,
KUG SHEHR DEY LOK WE ZALIM SAN,KUG SANUN MARN DA SHOK WE SEE,.
She is 200% correct but will not be heard nor counted because the nation has gone beyond the limits of ethics.People are so hypnotized by the media mafia that they are now immune/addicted of media dozes and ready always to believe it true despite the scientists are completely engaged with the people and the communities at large to save and secure them of this dying business. THE SAID PROCESS OF SAFE WATER, IT IS RECOMMENDED OVER THE CRISES PLACES AND ALWAYS TO USE IN CASE OF EMERGENCY NOT AS THE FASHION AND POSING LIKEWISE THE MUMMY DADDY. In the process of making the dirty/sewerage/drainage water eatable chlorine process has the major role to make your water clean and so called eatable but in fact it does not alone clean the water but also your body parts such as kidney and many other parts of the body.However, what ever it is the responsibility goes to the health institutions and the monitoring and evaluation institutions almost look like deaf and blind.If this issue is dealt with scientific approaches safe water can be provided to majority either urban/rural and millions of people can be save and secured of life risking diseases that ultimately take them to hospitals first and then to their last place.But the most important issue of this saga is billions of dollars are spent on health sector to save and secure the lives of the dying people.If our scientists are invited to see the matter and dig out the resolve they can help the Pakistan and save millions of dying people along with saving billions per year having the majority people healthy and happy in the society. CONTINUED WITH RESPECT..
