Abstract

Ecuador may be a small country, but it is rich in constitutional history. Since 1830, it has revised its Constitution 20 times, most recently in 2008, when the right to food got enshrined in constitutional legislation. Article 13 states that “the right to food includes free and permanent access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food for a healthy, high-quality diet, in line with the culture, traditions and customs of the people.”
