The right to adequate food and to be free from hunger is a
fundamental human right whose realisation is within the reach of
the present generation, provided there is commitment to meeting
corresponding obligations on the part of state and other duty
bearers, and improved, broadly based understanding of the nature of
these obligations as basis for their effective implementation. The
first volume of this book introduced the concept of the human right
to adequate food and elaborated its theoretical foundation and
operational meaning in development. This second volume carries the
debate further, with a relative shift in emphasis on implementation
issues. It begins with a series of reviews of how different
academic disciplines which influence the agenda for development
have embraced or rejected human rights dimensions in their
scholarly discourse and practical advice to governments. This is
followed by concrete examples of how some states have started to
apply a human rights based approach to food and nutrition policies
and action, recognising the potential of such an approach as much
as the many challenges still ahead. The cases reveal that one major
obstacle is the lack of awareness, knowledge and capacity at all
levels for applying human rights in national and local development.
The need for appropriate education and capacity strengthening is
therefore a central message. Overall, the experience presented
suggests that human rights in development have reached a
stage-of-noreturn, with the climate for the adoption and
application of right to adequate food principles and obligations
slowly but steadily improving.
