The right to food is a fundamental human right that guarantees individuals the right to access sufficient, safe, and nutritious food that meets their dietary needs for an active and healthy life. It is based on the principle that food is essential for human survival and dignity, and that everyone should have the means to access it, regardless of their socio-economic status, location, or other factors. Ensuring that this right is respected, protected, and fulfilled requires collaborative efforts from governments, international bodies, and civil society to address issues like poverty, inequality, food insecurity, and sustainable agriculture.
Even though enough food is produced globally, 1 in 11 people worldwide, and 1 in 5 in Africa, experience hunger.
Around 40% of cereals grown worldwide are diverted to animal feed.
More than 33% of people worldwide lack access to nutritious food, while obesity rates have increased by 100% since 2000
Around 50% of the world population is not adequately nourished.

At Just Access, we believe that every person deserves to live a life with dignity. Through innovative and proven methods, we strive every day to make sure that everyone’s fundamental human rights are respected and protected.
Our unique approach combines a focus on social, economic, cultural, and environmental human rights with access to justice. Social, economic, cultural, and environmental rights are indispensable to a life with dignity, but too often people can’t access the legal means to enforce their rights.
By breaking down the barriers to access to justice, we can unlock the power of law, and build a fairer, kinder, more equal world for current and future generations.
Social, economic, cultural, and environmental rights protect some of the most fundamental human values. Everyone should have clean water to drink. Everyone should have enough food, and food that is nutritious and culturally appropriate. Every child should have a roof over their head, healthcare when they fall sick, and an education that opens their eyes to the world.
