Resumen
Descripción
Food as a human right was first laid down 50 years ago in the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights. The last 10 years, in particular, have witnessed an
increased recognition of the importance of the human rights approach for designing
policies and interventions that promote food and nutrition security, as evidenced by the
highly visible role given to human rights at the 1996 World Food Summit. But, given
that the design of effective policies and interventions is based on good analysis and
information, what are the implications of the human rights approach for the food and
nutrition policy research agenda? This is the question we address in this paper. We note
several implications of the human rights perspective in terms of (1) new research areas,
(2) new perspectives on old issues, and (3) implications for research methods.
