Abstract
Book review of excellent monograph on the role of international law in achieving food security. The book aims to provide ‘the first systematic analysis of the international rules influencing food systems’. As such, the book is an important contribution to the still rather scarce legal literature on the topic of global food systems and their relationship to food security.
期刊介绍:
The relationship between human rights and the environment is fascinating, uneasy and increasingly urgent. This international journal provides a strategic academic forum for an extended interdisciplinary and multi-layered conversation that explores emergent possibilities, existing tensions, and multiple implications of entanglements between human and non-human forms of liveliness. We invite critical engagements on these themes, especially as refracted through human rights and environmental law, politics, policy-making and community level activisms.
