Abstract:

Food and nutrition insecurity - FNI situations are impeding the realization of the human right to adequate food - HRF and may be linked to the availability, access, consumption, production and biological use of food and social, political and economic issues, which in turn express the current food problems existing between countries. This study aims to review how food is understood as a human right in the scientific production of health specifically in articles that have been dedicated to the empirical analysis of FNI in different urban settings with children and adolescents. An integrated review of the literature was carried out with 80 scientific articles published in the PubMed database,2007 to 2016. Information about the methodological approaches, the aspects related to IAN, the conclusions and recommendations were extractedstudies. In synthesis, the review showed the diversity of thematic focus for understanding food as a human right and its relation to other rights. Suggested action strategies focused on primary health care. Food both in developed and developing countries is a human right in dispute that needs to be realized in order to achieve social justice for all people.
