THE ROLE OF SUPREME COURT IN RECOGNITION OF RIGHT TO FOOD AS A FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT

Abstract

Food is the basic needs of the people to survive. Today around more than 1 billion people of the world’s population is hungry. Such high levels of hunger restrict the social and economic development of the country and are a threat to global peace and security. Despite these high figures and their impact on development, food security has not been at the top of the agenda. Efforts to ensure food security have been uncoordinated and resources for agriculture which forms the basis of people’s livelihoods – have been declining.
