摘要

This paper examines the right to ecological and organic agriculture-based food security through rural small-holder family farming or associated livestock production, fishing, pastoralism and gathering, as an important ethical concern. It discusses howrural small-holder rights to adequate, healthy, safe, nutritious food (as well as land, seeds, waters, and traditional or local knowledge needed for producing an ecologically sustaining food sources) remain poorly understood or ignored, inadequately supported or advocated and not legally defended well by governments. It further suggests that those rights, and small farmers' ability to earn a decent, socially responsible and ecologically sustainable livelihood, may be undermined by governments and large, multinational private sector companies, through unjust (de facto unethical) policies or laws, and even corporate criminal behaviour. The paper reviews such as issues in the context of agrarian reform and justice demands, global policy debates, guidingethical norms and legal frameworks, recommendations from international agency reports, identified human rights obligations of transnational corporations and arguments from the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food. In sum, it argues thatgovernments have a moral (and in some respects legal) obligation to better uphold the rights of small-holder family farmers to practice ecological or organic agriculture, allowing them to produce appropriate and adequate food. It suggests that nationalplanning, policy reforms and development cooperation might better acknowledge and support this obligation while beginning new initiatives during the United Nations International Year of Family Farming, 2014.
