The author of this piece has a book, "Freedom from want: the human right to adequate food". The publisher's summary quotes Richard Pierre Claude, founding editor of Human Rights Quarterly and professor emeritus, University of Maryland:

"As a legal claim, the 'human right to adequate food' may seem thin gruel, but George Kent enriches the concept with data-based policy analysis, compelling ethical arguments, and a full review of concerned international, national, and nongovernmental organizations. He persuasively makes the case for accountability where the face of famine, malnutrition, and starvation confront the hands of those who hold political power at every level in our new global economy."
