摘要、提要註:	Do we have a right to food? The significance of a human rights approach, and the way in whichit translates to gender considerations, with links to the HIV/AIDS pandemic, agricultural productivity and the environment, adds a new dimension to the problem of world hunger. By exploring these approaches to hunger this volume is novel in its shift away from rather obvious research on macro food availability to more compositedimensions cutting across economics, sociology, law and politics. Withregional experiences and country case studies this constitutes an invaluable collection for researchers and activists trying to make a difference.

The significance of a human rights approach, and the way in whichit translates to gender considerations, with links to the HIV/AIDS pandemic, agricultural productivity and the environment, adds a new dimension to the problem of world hunger. By exploring these approaches to hunger this volume is novel in its shift away from rather obvious research on macro food availability to more compositedimensions cutting across economics, sociology, law and politics.
