Seeking the Right to Food

Abstract

Africa to improve access (Hatcher et al., 2019; Garekae and Shackleton, 2020). Why, then, is this book advocating for a renewed focus on RTF? The answers are directly linked to the abovementioned hypothesis. Simply put, this book is striking in three main ways: first, it uses a human rights approach to assess public policy. It challenges human rights activists and scholars to transcend issues of procedural justice in order to analyse distributional justice and the complementary role of socioeconomic policy; second, by using a human rights framework, the book analyses the shortfalls in public polices and how they can be triggered to address gender biases, income inequality and poverty. The book therefore makes an enormous contribution to scholarship
