“The Manual sets out with an analysis of hunger and famine, then takes the victims’ perspective on food issues, relating them to the right to food. With great conceptual clarity, the linkage to human rights concepts and how to use international and domestic law to realize the human right to food is also addressed in detail. In so doing, very good case examples are provided which highlight the normative content of the right to food in various legal orders. Relevant chapters on the adequacy and access to food and on operationalizing the right to food follow. The analysis of actors includes a short overview of the WTO Agreement on Agriculture and on the genetic resources provisions of the TRIPS. A very useful glossary of definitions and explanations for further clarification is added at the end and should facilitate the work of practitioners in the field, particularly of NGOs focusing on right to food problems.”
