The right to food in the perspective of Systemic Theory and for an ecology of human rights

This paper presents the right to food as a human right, focusing on Niklas Luhmann's Systemic Theory and an ecology of human rights. The objective of the investigation is to develop a socio-systemic perspective on human rights, discussing how they develop and have specific functions in society. It examines the issue of hunger in the following contexts: the production of food as commodities in the Brazilian Amazon, and the production and/or project of hunger as a power structure. It concludes on the paradox of this society, whose events operate in the production of risks: more food production, more hunger; more communication and education, more misinformation; more to know, more to not know.
