The African region is facing the double burden of malnutrition driven by changing food environments and the increasing availability, affordability, and acceptability of unhealthy food, which in turn raises major health and sustainability concerns. This report argues that human rights can play a powerful role in supporting State-led policies intended to promote healthier food environments and prevent diet-related diseases. It reviews the growing academic literature and policy documents at the intersection of human rights and food environments and identifies the relevant international legal treaties and conventions that can be used to support the integration of a human rights-based approach to promote healthy food environments and therefore prevent diet-related diseases, particularly in Africa.
