Abstract

Objective this article presents the problems relating to the need to calculate the effects of meat production and consumption (and diametrically, other animal products), under the aegis of the human right to adequate food and ensuring food and nutrition security. As methodology, we opted for the hypothetical-deductive method, with essentially bibliographical research. It is noticed, in this context, that the production and consumption of animal meat for human beings show up damaging the implementation of those rights and guarantee, by their very high economic and environmental costs. It is urgent to build a new way of thinking about food, in order to make it more integrated with human rights, animal rights and the environment.
