摘要：The right to food has always been recognized as a valid and fundamental right of the individual. Inthe absence of food, other political and economic rights and freedoms are meaningless.Global food supplies have for many years been more than adequate to feed the world's population.Nonetheless, hunger and malnutrition are still painful realities.
