Nutrition, Pathologies of Power and the Need for Health Democracy

Development, 2014, vol. 57, issue 2, 184-191

Abstract: The Alma-Ata strategy on primary health care offers a holistic approach to ensuring the right to health and the right to food. However, the trends are going in the opposite direction. Human rights are being undermined by global rules fashioned after the interests of the corporate elite. A new movement for judiciablity of the right to food and the right to health is needed to reverse this trend, as well as international law to rein in the powers of the corporate elite.
