Food Rights for Real

Abstract

Does more talk of the right to food and more action on food security amount to more accountability and effectiveness in tackling hunger? Not according to new findings from the Life in a Time of Food Price Volatility project. Research in 2013, published in the report 'Help Yourself! Food rights and responsibilities: Year 2 findings from Life in a Time of Food Price Volatility' found that while the drivers of food insecurity are increasingly beyond their control, people cannot rely on help when, how and for whom it is needed.
