The 'Right to Food' is a legal entitlement owed to all human beings established in international law more than half a century ago. Fulfilment of the right has been entrusted to states parties to the 1966 International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR). However, in practice, the right is often breached because of hostility or indifference from individuals or institutions refusing access to provisions, or because of vicissitudes of nature. Adverse impacts due to human interference in natural processes are increasingly noticeable in the area of food production. These processes have been classified into nine distinct categories, all of which need be kept within certain margins, so-called 'Planetary Boundaries', which delineate a safe operating space for humanity. This paper discusses the impact each of these human-induced developments has on the provision of food as well as the other way round and what the consequences would be if the boundaries were exceeded. Yet there are means of keeping the worst consequences of most of these processes at bay. The paper explores some of these.
“食物权”是半个多世纪前国际法确立的一项所有人都享有的法律权利。1966 年《经济、社会、文化权利国际公约》（ICESCR）的缔约国受托履行这项权利。然而，在实践中，由于个人或机构拒绝提供规定，或由于自然的变化，这一权利往往被侵犯。人类对自然过程的干扰在粮食生产领域产生了越来越明显的不利影响。这些过程被分为九个不同的类别，所有这些类别都需要保持在一定的范围内，即所谓的“地球界限”，为人类划定一个安全的运作空间。本文讨论了这些人类活动对食品供应的影响，以及反之亦然，如果超出了这些界限会产生什么后果。然而，有一些方法可以防止这些过程中的大部分最坏后果。本文探讨了其中的一些方法。
