Rezensionen

"This multi-authored volume, the product of a continuing seminar by the editors and additional authors, exhaustively spans and connects the latest legal, political, economic and sociocultural thinking connecting gender, nutrition and human rights...As in usual in writings building legal background and arguments, there are many redundancies as the authors trace the institutional and documentary background to each topic. This is an advantage, in that individual chapters contain fully developed backgrounds, and individual chapters refer to the others."

Ellen Messer, Cambridge University Press

"The volume of essays introduces several critical feminist perspectives to the debates around food and nutrition security, employing a lens of social justice, and a feminist critique of the structural causes of global food insecurity, which is often treated as a technical problem"

Emily Hillenbrand, Senior Technical Advisor for Gender and Livelihoods, CARE USA Food Nutrition Security Unit, Atlanta, USA

"This book addresses important issues for attaining human wellbeing worldwide. It presents a thorough review of literature and of international declarations related to food and nutrition. Each chapter presses for change in inter-national frameworks, instruments and policies related to human rights."
