Direito à alimentação e sustentabilidade

Abstract

Sustainability and the Right to Food The present work is focused on the relationship between the human right to food, sustainability and the conflicts arising from the realization of this right in current food systems. We seek to understand which aspects are being considered in the specification of this right and how sustainability would be an ethical value and an inherent principle of the human right to food. We propose the following questions as a guide to the research: What is human right to food? What is sustainability? Sustainability is an inherent aspect of the human right to food? Does it occur in the current models of production and consumption? What are the conflicts and impediments to the completion of the human right to food through the prism of sustainability? The methodological approach includes the analysis of the case of production and consumption of genetically modified (GM) foods in contrast with the assumptions adopted in this work. The production model of GM foods is analyzed against the alternative model of agroecology in order to compare the presence of sustainability aspects in both systems. We discuss the role of the consumer as an agent capable of promoting sustainability of food systems, as well as the economic difficulties to exhert this role. From this analysis, we found the existence of public-private conflicts emerging from realization of the human right to food when looking through the prism of sustainability. Before such obstacles, we present mechanisms of enforceability and justiciability of the human right to food. We seek to transversely address themes such as solidarity, ethics in science and in capitalism, and education as challenges to be conquered in order to achieve the full realization of the human right to food from the perspective of sustainability.

A construção do Direito Humano à Alimentação Adequada

“…De acordo com o PIDESC, o DHAA possui duas dimensões: (i) o direito de estar livre da fome e da má nutrição; e (ii) o direito à alimentação adequada (Burity et al, 2010;Restrepo-Yepes et al, 2020). Desse modo, a abrangência do DHAA não se limita a uma ideia de sobrevivência, mas a garantia do bem estar e de um nível sadio de vida (Ferraz, 2013).…”

Los mercados campesinos como estrategia de sustentabilidad en los sistemas alimentarios de Cundinamarca, Colombia

“…En este sentido, se encuentran los mercados locales, como estrategias a través de las cuales se desarrollan los CCC, construidos socialmente, generando mecanismos de gobernanza e involucrando a diversidad de actores (FAO, 2017;Schubert y Schneider, 2016). Su realización implica cierto grado de sustentabilidad en la medida que, mediante el intercambio de bienes y servicios, abarca el bienestar de las personas y del ambiente de manera conjunta, integrando criterios ambientales, sociales, culturales, económicos, territoriales y políticos (Ferraz, 2017;van der Ploeg, 2014).…”
