Food Justice and the Ethics of Global Nutrition: hilosophical Reflections on Inequality and the Good Life

Abstract

This paper explores the philosophical dimensions of food justice and global nutrition, focusing on the ethical implications of inequality in food distribution and access. It argues that nutrition is not only a biological necessity but also a moral and political issue embedded within broader frameworks of justice, human rights, and the concept of the good life. By examining ethical theories and cross-cultural perspectives, the paper highlights how philosophical inquiry can contribute to addressing global nutritional disparities and promoting human flourishing.
