En esta obra la autora reflexiona sobre la contribución del derecho a la alimentación, a la lucha contra el hambre y aborda las perspectivas de realización de este derecho fundamental en la próxima década, en un contexto global marcado por un aumento de la desigualdad y por una crisis ambiental multidimensional que amenaza los sistemas alimentarios. Ante esta crisis, este estudio sitúa los derechos de las generaciones futuras y los límites de la matriz biofísica de nuestro planeta en el centro del debate sobre las políticas alimentarias. Asimismo, este trabajo considera la preocupación de que las medidas proclamadas para lograr una transición ecológica y energética puedan suponer una restricción del derecho humano a la alimentación y de otros derechos fundamentales de las generaciones actuales. Ante estas consideraciones, este trabajo propone hacer frente a estos retos desde el Derecho internacional vigente, a través de un enfoque integrado entre el derecho a la alimentación y un conjunto de principios que han obtenido diferentes grados de reconocimiento internacional, tales como el de integración, el de uso sostenible de los recursos naturales y el de equidad intergeneracional. Este enfoque integrado es útil para la elaboración de políticas alimentarias basadas en un derecho a la alimentación sostenible, que logren un equilibrio justo entre las necesidades alimentarias presentes y las futuras. Al combinar una aproximación jurídica con un enfoque divulgativo, esta obra puede ser de interés tanto para juristas como para personas interesadas en la lucha contra el hambre, en los derechos humanos y en cómo hacer frente a los retos que afrontan actualmente los sistemas alimentarios.

This edition of the World Bank has been revised and expanded by the Terminology Unit in the Languages Services Division of the World Bank in collaboration with the English, Spanish, and French Translation Sections. The Glossary is intended to assist the Bank's translators and interpreters, other Bank staff using French and Spanish in their work, and free-lance translator's and interpreters employed by the Bank. For this reason, the Glossary contains not only financial and economic terminology and terms relating to the Bank's procedures and practices, but also terms that frequently occur in Bank documents, and others for which the Bank has a preferred equivalent. Although many of these terms, relating to such fields as agriculture, education, energy, housing, law, technology, and transportation, could be found in other sources, they have been assembled here for ease of reference. A list of acronyms occurring frequently in Bank texts (the terms to which they refer being found in the Glossary) and a list of international, regional, and national organizations will be found at the end of the Glossary.

This publication provides an overview of the common and unique sustainability elements of Indigenous Peoples' food systems, in terms of natural resource management, access to the market, diet diversity, indigenous peoples’ governance systems, and links to traditional knowledge and indigenous languages. While enhancing the learning on Indigenous Peoples food systems, it will raise awareness on the need to enhance the protection of Indigenous Peoples' food systems as a source of livelihood for the 476 million indigenous inhabitants in the world, while contributing to the Zero Hunger Goal. In addition, the UN Decade of Action on Nutrition (2016-2025) and the UN Food Systems Summit call on the enhancement of sustainable food systems and on the importance of diversifying diets with nutritious foods, while broadening the existing food base and preserving biodiversity. This is a feature characteristic of Indigenous Peoples' food systems since hundreds of years, which can provide answers to the current debate on sustainable food systems and resilience.

With food supplies tightening, countries are competing for the land and waterresources needed to feed their people.

Urban agriculture is increasingly considered an important part of creating just and sustainable cities. Yet the benefits that many people attribute to urban agriculture-fresh food, green space, educational opportunities-can mask structural inequities, thereby making political transformation harder to achieve. Beyond the Kale argues that urban agricultural projects focused explicitly on dismantling oppressive systems have the greatest potential to achieve substantive social change. Through in-depth interviews and public forums with prominent urban agriculture activists and supporters-primarily people of color and women, whose strategies have often been underrespresented in the literature Kristin Reynolds and Nevin Cohen illustrate how urban farmers and gardeners not only grow food for their communities but also use their activities and spaces to disrupt the dynamics of power and privilege that perpetuate inequity. Beyond the Kale provides recommendations for these in philanthropy, government, nonprofit organizations, and academia to support such initiatives. Book jacket.
