Right to adequate food

The right to adequate food means that everyone should have reliable access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs and preferences for a healthy life. It emphasizes that food should be available, accessible, and culturally appropriate, without discrimination. This right also involves ensuring that food is obtained in a way that respects human dignity and supports sustainable agricultural practices. Essentially, it’s a fundamental human right that protects individuals from hunger and malnutrition, advocating for societal responsibilities to create systems that guarantee all people can access adequate food.
