The “right to food” has been formally implemented in some countries and, in other contexts, it is used as an exhortation for governments or other entities to take actions to reduce food insecurity. Central to any comprehensive set of policies to reduce food insecurity are food assistance programs directed towards vulnerable households. One example of such a food assistance program is in the United States, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly known as the Food Stamp Program). I begin by discussing one measure of a right to food, namely, to be free from food insecurity and then turn to a consideration the role of SNAP in meeting this goal. To do so, I cover five components that would seem to be essential to any definition of a right to food and how SNAP does and does not meet these components.

美国的食物权:补充营养援助计划 (SNAP) 的作用
“食物权”已在一些国家正式实施,而在其他情况下,它被用作对政府或其他实体采取行动减少粮食不安全的劝告。任何旨在减少粮食不安全的综合政策的核心是针对弱势家庭的粮食援助计划。这种食品援助计划的一个例子是美国的补充营养援助计划(SNAP,以前称为食品券计划)。我首先讨论食物权的一项措施,即免于粮食不安全,然后转而考虑 SNAP 在实现这一目标方面的作用。为此,我涵盖了对食物权的任何定义都至关重要的五个组成部分,以及 SNAP 如何满足和不满足这些组成部分。
