Food business and the right to food
[]
It is striking that the majority of those who are hungry in the world today are also part of the food system. Small, independent food producers and waged agricultural workers represent an important percentage of people who appear in statistics on undernutrition or malnutrition.
They probably represent around half of the world’s undernourished. It is therefore essential to consider how the sourcing, pricing, and wage policies of commodity buyers, food processors and retailers are aligned with the requirements of the right to food.
