Excited to present my latest publication: "Rethinking the Human Right to Food from a Single Perspective to a Four-Fold Legal Interpretation" Dive into this thought-provoking piece that explores the fundamental importance of ensuring access to adequate nutrition and food security, also linked to food sovereignty, in today's ever-evolving world. 💡🍽 The human right to food is a fundamental pillar for guaranteeing human dignity and the existence of human beings. The fourfold legal interpretation thesis is of paramount importance as it seeks to contextualise the human right to food in the current circumstances, acknowledging that despite various conceptual perspectives, hunger and nutritional issues persist. This thesis aims to provide a comprehensive legal-theoretical approach to redefine the right to food, addressing the ongoing challenges in ensuring access to adequate nutrition and food security. https://lnkd.in/eP9cftg6 #HumanRights #FoodSecurity #Publication #foodsovereignty #right2food #FAO José Grabiel LUIS CORDOVA Yanelys Delgado Triana Kim Van der BorghtVrije Universiteit Brussel Vakgroep Privaat en Economisch Recht VUB - Department of Private and Economic Law VUB (PREC) Universidad Central "Marta Abreu" de Las Villas Dpto de Derecho UCLV Alexander Martínez Mariagrazia Alabrese Leticia Díez Sánchez Law Group FAO World Food Programme Programa Mundial de Alimentos (WFP) Michael Fakhri Beatriz Lorenzo Yera

🔸 I'm excited to share that I have just completed the course “Adequate food: the human right of us all”! This course has been incredibly interesting, informative, and useful. 🔸 Throughout the course, we delved into the foundational concepts, origins, and principles of human rights. We explored the intricacies of the right to adequate food, understanding its essential components, guiding principles (PANTHER), and its interconnection with other fundamental human rights such as the right to life, health, water, and adequate housing. We also examined the obligations of states and other actors in ensuring this right, the legal frameworks needed for its protection, and the importance of public policies, budgets, and monitoring strategies. Special emphasis was placed on protecting the rights of vulnerable groups and the role of society in upholding the right to adequate food. Key takeaways include: 📌 Human rights are universal, inalienable, indivisible, interrelated, and interdependent. 📌 The right to adequate food encompasses availability, stability, accessibility, sustainability, and adequacy. 📌 Realizing this right requires a comprehensive strategy, involving legal recognition, policy implementation, and active participation from all societal sectors. 📌 Special protection measures are essential for vulnerable groups and during emergencies. I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in human rights and food security. Thank you to the instructors and the FAO Right to Food Unit and the Development Law Service (LEGN) of FAO’s Legal Office for this enriching experience! #HumanRights #RightToFood #FoodSecurity #AdequateFood #FAO #ContinuousLearning #ProfessionalDevelopment

In their book chapter "The Future of Planning for Food Systems Governance," professors Laurie J. Beyranevand and Emily M. Broad Leib make a case for countries to adopt national food strategies, which are governance approaches that coordinate across different sectors and levels of government and involve participatory and long-term planning for the health and sustainability of the food system. The chapter is part of the recently published Research Handbook on International Food Law, edited by Michael T. Roberts. Read: https://lnkd.in/eePNcuvC
