We need a ‘right to food’
It’s a disgrace that so many live with food insecurity in one of the world’s richest countries, where modern food production methods should make hunger obsolete. It’s time to do something about it, writes NEIL FINDLAY

AS human beings we have fairly basic needs: food, water and shelter are enough to provide us with the existence our primitive ancestors experienced.

However, as we have evolved our lives and needs have become more sophisticated so we can add other items such as housing, healthcare and education to the list of essentials for a good life.

Many other things make life more comfortable but it can be argued they are not life and death necessities.
