RESTREPO-YEPES, Olga Cecilia. Protection of Food Right in Colombia: Description and Analysis of Public Policies about Food and Nutrition from 1967 to 2008. Opin. jurid. [online]. 2011, vol.10, n.20, pp.47-64. ISSN 1692-2530.

This article is a reflection on the food satisfaction problem in Colombia. This is made from a public policy point of view. For this purpose, a question is posed on the tools the Colombian law has developed from 1967 to 2008 before the hunger and malnutrition events. Although public policies in Colombia have been the tools to promote protection of the food right, such statement may seem a paradox in a country where establishment of rights is the basis for their protection.

Keywords : malnutrition; constitutional food right; social right; basic social right.
