The international community today confronts a dramatic paradox: we continue to produce more and more food, yet malnutrition, hunger and famine continue and even increase, placing millions of people in peril. At the same time, the more food is produced, the more risks of unsafe food are increasingly apparent and call to be addressed, partly through law.
We hope that this work may contribute to fill a major gap in the field: although food security constitutes a serious challenge on the world scale, one with many consequences, it has so far hardly been a subject of serious attention by scholars and researchers specialized in international law.


La communauté internationale est aujourd’hui confrontée à un grave paradoxe : alors que les quantités de denrées alimentaires produites ne cessent d’augmenter, la malnutrition, la faim et la famine gagnent du terrain et menacent la vie de millions de personnes. Plus la production s’intensifie, plus les risques liés à la sécurité des aliments s’aggravent et exigent d’être pris en charge (notamment) sur le plan juridique. En effet, bien que la sécurité alimentaire soit un problème lourd de conséquencesà l’échelle mondiale, elle n’a jusqu’à présent reçu que peu d’attention de la part des chercheurs et spécialistes du droit international. Nous espérons que ce travail contribuera à combler cette importante lacune.
