9783845408439: Human Development and the Right to Food in Sub-Saharan Africa: Political Realities versus Economic Dynamics

Synopsis

The saying “we eat to live” is a clear testimony on how food is at the core of humanity and development. Realizing the right to food of the world’s population is thus an urgent obligation that may be unique from other human rights and freedoms given the importance of adequate food for organisation and prosperity of communities. Though rooted in international law and instruments, in Africa, the right to food and freedom from hunger has historically been transformed by external forces of slavery, colonialism, imperialism, neo-liberalism , apartheid, and conditioned economic policies, whose activities have often attempted to limit the enjoyment of this right. This book brings to fore the political realities and economic dynamics confronting the realization of the right to adequate food in a Sub-Saharan Africa milieu.
