Abstract

Provision of population with a sufficient amount of high-quality food is one of the objectives of the modern welfare state. Everyone’s right to food, despite the relatively recent proclamation, is of a complex nature, serving as a necessary component of everyone’s right to decent living conditions. The article deals with establishment of everyone’s right to food in international and national law orders, as well as the main areas of its exercise and protection. Peculiarities of constitutional legal regulation of the right to food in some countries are identified due to the comparative legal method. With consideration of the provisions of food security regulations, the author distinguishes three main areas of guaranteeing and protecting the right to food: ensuring accessibility of food; quality and safety of food products; formation of a healthy food culture. In the context of environmental law theory, special attention is paid to issues of acceptability of using genetically modified organisms when ensuring the right to food, their influence on public health and the state of the environment.
