A Common Sense Approach to the Right to Food

by Alexandra Wanjiku Kelbert; Dolf Te Lintelo; Naomi Hossain

Jul 1, 2015
  • Agriculture and Food
  • Employment and Labor

  • DESCRIPTION

Despite the growing activism and debate around the right to food in the past decade, there has been little exploration of what the right means in everyday life and in the routine encounters between states and citizens. This paper draws together original qualitative research in nine African, Asian and Latin American countries on how people talk about the right to food. It does so on the assumption that accountability for hunger depends on people being aware of that right. The paper explores what people at risk of hunger have to say about what the right to food means in their location; its source and origins; and responsibilities for upholding it.
