Right to Food Journal: Supporting the struggle for the Human Right to Adequate Food and Nutrition

Published by FIAN International,

This journal (PDF) of FIAN International elaborates on the increasing influence of transnational corporations over policy-making and the impact on the realization of the human right to food and nutrition. It was published on the occasion of Human Rights Day and features political and legal analyses of corporate influencing and stories from the ground. In general, the authors argue that the influence of transnational corporations are increasingly eroding the political power of people to demand their right to food. The critical reflection on the role of transnational corporations in tackling malnutrition, hunger and food insecurity, urges readers to rethink assumptions on private sector involvement. The FIAN Right to Food Journal is an annual online magazine which provides experts with information and analysis on the right to food and on important trends concerning economic, social and cultural rights.
