Food Security Law – Interdisciplinary Perspectives ( 1st Edition ) 2014

Food Security Law – Interdisciplinary Perspectives (1st Edition) provides a comprehensive and multi-dimensional analysis of food security as a legal and human rights issue. The book examines the constitutional basis of the right to food and critically evaluates statutory frameworks such as the National Food Security Act and public distribution systems designed to combat hunger and malnutrition.

Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, the work integrates legal analysis with insights from economics, public policy, nutrition, and development studies. It explores administrative mechanisms, entitlement schemes, and grievance redressal structures, highlighting gaps between legislative intent and practical implementation. Special attention is given to vulnerable populations including children, women, and economically disadvantaged communities.

The book also discusses international standards on food security and situates Indian food law within broader human rights discourse. By combining doctrinal legal study with empirical and policy perspectives, it offers a holistic understanding of food governance and social justice. This work is valuable for scholars and practitioners concerned with welfare law, human rights, and sustainable development.
