Abstract
This research is about the analyses of power, governance, social capital and social
justice in food and nutrition policy processes with the aim of informing efforts to
achieve the right to food and address the complex burden of malnutrition in South
Africa, and to transform the food system. Too often, malnutrition and the right to food
are disconnected from one another, from the food systems practices that
systematically generate health risks, and from the underlying environmental and
socioeconomic conditions for health - conditions that are currently undermined by
food systems activities.
