Human Rights and Right to Food
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Applied and Basic Sciences - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Future demand for food will be driven by population growth and rising incomes; the latter increase the demand for meat, vegetables, fruits, and grains At least four similar definitions of food security have been used by international organizations: 1. "Access by all people at all times to enough food for an active, healthy life." 2. "All people at all times have both physical and economic access to the basic food they need." 3. "Access by all people at all times to sufficient food and nutrition for a healthy and productive life." 4. "When all people at all times have access to sufficient food to meet their dietary needs for a productive and healthy life." Concern with food security can be traced back to the world food crisis of 1972-74 - and beyond that at least to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, which recognized the right to food as a core element of an adequate level of living. The right of having enough food and well-being is recognized one of the principals in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Agriculture. Therefore in this article the principal elements in health food production and affecting factors are studied.
