The Right to Food: A Fundamental Discussion

This chapter tackles the crucial topic of food as a basic human right and examines recent legislation in Maine that prioritizes food sovereignty. The speakers discuss the implications of denying access to food, the contrast between Maine's approach and the commercial practices dominant in the U.S., and the challenges posed by regulations on food sharing. They also reflect on the broader power dynamics and moral responsibilities associated with food security, particularly in light of recent international developments.
