- The right to food and water refers to the human entitlement to access adequate food and clean water necessary for survival and well-being. This right is often recognized under international law, such as the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, and aims to prevent malnutrition, starvation, and water-borne diseases by ensuring equitable distribution of essential resources.
