En el segundo capítulo se realiza un estudio de los factores que potencian la falta de alimentos, no de todos ellos sino de aquellos que a la par se configuran como riesgos y/o amenazas a la paz y seguridad internacionales. En el tercer capítulo se aportan y/o cuestionan algunos posibles instrumentos que pueden proteger la seguridad alimentaria como factor sostenible de paz. Todo ello con el objetivo de no perder de vista el enfoque relacional entre la seguridad alimentaria y la paz y seguridad internacionales. [Texto de la editorial]

The objective of this paper is to examine the specific provisions, within the framework of International Humanitarian Law (IHL), that protect the human right to food of the civilian population and to observe to what extent the protection of access to food is an issue taken into account by IHL during the development of an armed conflict. Answering these questions requires a detailed analysis of this branch of international law, in order to identify the specific rules of IHL that aim, directly or indirectly, to ensure that civilians do not see denied their access to food during the armed conflict, whether international or non-international. In many armed conflicts, a greater number of civilians die from food deprivation than as a direct result of hostilities. In this sense, the Statute of the International Criminal Court criminalizes those acts that, during the armed conflict, violate IHL prohibitions related to food issues, thus we will also mention them, with the aim of clarifying the possible individual criminal responsibility attributed to those who carry out such acts. The scientific method that has been used in this work is the legal-sociological method, insofar as it is the one that we consider most appropriate for the multidisciplinary approach, always from the legal point of view, regarding the understanding of the rules, the lack of them, their effectiveness, their rationale, etc. This method is based on the idea that law cannot be studied as an isolated domain but must be analysed as part of social reality. The elaboration of this work, with a multidisciplinary object, has also required the use of several methodological techniques, such as social and legal analysis, legal deduction and induction, description and interdisciplinarity.

When we talk about land grabbing, or problems around land, we do not really think that this is a phenomenon that is also occurring within the EU, but rather we think mainly of other parts of the world, such as the Global South, Latin American states or Africa. However, the reality is that in Europe today, the concentration of land under increasingly large farms controlled by fewer hands (partly as a result of land grabbing and reduced access to land for small-scale food producers) is accelerating. The aim of our work is to provide an overall legal, social and political analysis of the phenomenon of land grabbing, particularly of agricultural land, within the EU, presenting the main legal and political challenges that arise ad intra. We will also focus on the analysis of certain European Directives that have an impact on the Union's policy on biofuels and therefore also on possible ad extra land grabs that are carried out within the framework of the European Union. The issues presented in this work are complex and multidisciplinary, so we can approach them from different perspectives. However, in order to shorten the scope of the study, we have taken into account the basis of land grabbing within the framework of European Union law. In this sense, the scientific method that has been used is the legal-sociological one, insofar as it is the one that we consider the most appropriate for the multidisciplinary approach. This method consists of analyzing the current state of the rules and the interrelationship between the possible legal sources but taking into account the social, economic, political and historical elements that allow to explain the effectiveness, rationale and applicability of the rules. This work has also required the use of a variety of methodological techniques, such as social and legal analysis, legal deduction and induction, description and interdisciplinarity. ; Cuando se habla de acaparamientos de tierras, o de problemas en torno a la tierra, realmente no se piensa en que éste sea un fenómeno ...

"It is clear that one of the most damaging global problems is hunger. There is still a high proportion of hungry people in the world, the number of human beings in this condition exceeding 690 million, according to the latest State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World Report (FAO 2020). Consequently, its eradication is extremely urgent. Nevertheless, it does not appear that Sustainable Development Goal number two, i.e. Zero Hunger, will be achieved by 2030. The United Nations itself admits this, stating that "the world is not on track to achieve Zero Hunger by 2030. If recent trends continue, the number of people affected by hunger would surpass 840 million by 2030". The problems facing food in the world today have increased considerably, as well as various factors and phenomena that augment the complexity of the issues or situations that fall within the scope of food security, such as: climate change, land grabbing, use of chemical fertilizers, loss of agrodiversity and other agricultural sustainability issues, obesity problems resulting from unhealthy diets, the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, the lack of justiciability of the right to food, the use of biotechnology in food, etc. In short, this book is a diverse compilation of the new manifestations of global food security seen from several angles and areas. The book aims to let visualize the main global problems and challenges that have a negative impact on food security, with the underlying objective of highlighting the need for reinforcing its full application in all contexts and countries. To this end, we believe that it is necessary to make its concept operational, and take it into consideration when applying policies and standards, especially in those areas and matters that may undermine said food security. In this sense, it is essential to strengthen its legal protection through a coherent and operational interpretation of the human right to food, so as to broaden its content and make it consistent with its pillars and foundations"--
