Human right to adequate food: hunger, inequality and poverty as obstacles to guaranteeing social rights

Abstract:

This essay aims to reflect on the human right to proper food, in an universal and permanent way, in the face of poverty and social inequality. It expresses the difficulty of societies to eliminate the spectrum of starvation. It is argued that the human right to adequate food is unlikely to be materialized without overcoming hunger, poverty and social inequality, interdependent and interrelated phenomena, inherent and necessary to capitalist sociability.
