This book introduces the human right to adequate food and nutrition
as evolving concept and identifies two structural "disconnects"
fueling food insecurity for a billion people, and disproportionally
affecting women, children, and rural food producers: the separation
of women's rights from their right to adequate food and nutrition,
and the fragmented attention to food as commodity and the
medicalization of nutritional health. Three conditions arising from
these disconnects are discussed: structural violence and
discrimination frustrating the realization of women's human rights,
as well as their private and public contributions to food and
nutrition security for all; many women's experience of their and
their children's simultaneously independent and intertwined
subjectivities during pregnancy and breastfeeding being poorly
understood in human rights law and abused by poorly-regulated food
and nutrition industry marketing practices; and the neoliberal
economic system's interference both with the autonomy and
self-determination of women and their communities and with the
strengthening of sustainable diets based on democratically governed
local food systems. The book calls for a social movement-led
reconceptualization of the right to adequate food toward
incorporating gender, women's rights, and nutrition, based on the
food sovereignty framework.
