| Research Abstract |
As the business-as-usual approach of the international community has failed to address the world food security challenges, it is now increasingly acknowledged that “the right to food” discourse and approach can be an effective legal and normative tool and framework to shed light on the international human rights obligations of states, international economic institutions and multinational corporations in relation tothe rights holders’ predicament. In order to ensure and fulfill the applicability of the human-rights approach, however, we further need to understand the political economy of the regulatory regime of multinational agribusinesses that wield massive power on the agri-food system.
