ABSTRACT

This chapter discusses the human right to food that has been proposed in an international legal framework as a solution to hunger. Telfer discusses the moral obligations that seem to follow from the identification of a Human Right to Food. The chapter presents the ethics of the relationship between humans and the animals that use for food. Food policy in the advanced world has incorporated the recognition that farmers require subsidies and support in various forms. Jensen and Srensen suggest the idea of ethical accounting, which would provide a basis for ethical decision-making about particular elements of livestock production process. The chapter explores the role of non-governmental organizations in campaigning on the subject of food and the efforts of private citizens in deepening the food awareness of civil society. British civil society has a very long tradition of concern about animals and vegetarianism but the public nerve has only recently been touched on the subject of high quality, organic foods.
