Abstract
The article explores the availability of food influenced by the second and third generation of human rights. While the second generation encompasses social rights including the “right to food”, the third generation assumes a number of essential assumptions for the realization of that right: the right to a healthy environment and the right to natural resources. The implementation of these third-generation rights poses a significant challenge for the contemporary legal culture, given that both a healthy environment and natural resources are in a certain sense increasingly endangered. Various international documents and national strategies/programs aim to mitigate this threat as much as possible. It is particularly intriguing to consider the realization of the “right to food” of future generations, who are, by all accounts, likely to inherit an unhealthy environment and polluted natural resources. These issues are central to the discussions on the contemporary implementation of the “right to food” within the framework of legal culture.
