The Right to Food in Constitutional Jurisprudence of Developing Nations
Quick fact
In 2001, the Supreme Court of India turned the right to food into a legally enforceable entitlement by reading it into the constitutional right to life, resulting in nationwide school meal programs and food distribution schemes that feed over 800 million people.
Why this is interesting
What if the right to food is written into a constitution, yet millions still go hungry? Could courts actually force a government to feed its people?
