Gender, nutrition, and the human right to adequate food
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.
