RESUMO
RESUMEN El artículo analiza la tensión existente entre el reconocimiento de derechos de las personas, en especial el derecho a la alimentación adecuada tal como se expresa en pactos y tratados internacionales de Derechos Humanos, y la escasa vinculación con el cuidado, entendido como el conjunto de actividades indispensables para satisfacer las necesidades básicas de la existencia y reproducción humana y social. Aplicando la metodología del enfoque de derechos y de género, el artículo aborda, por una parte, el alcance del derecho a la alimentación y el impacto a nivel de institucionalidad pública y, por el otro, el reconocimiento reciente del cuidado como derecho a nivel regional y la invisibilización persistente en las políticas públicas. Los resultados obtenidos permiten presentar una agenda de investigación y acción que identifica tensiones y oportunidades para lograr la universalización en el ejercicio de derechos a partir de políticas públicas integrales e interdependientes.
ABSTRACT This article analyzes the existing tensions between the recognition of human rights - especially the right to adequate food as it is defined in international agreements and treaties - and the insufficient connection made with care, understood as the set of activities necessary to satisfy the basic needs of existence and human and social reproduction. Applying a methodological approach based in rights and gender, the article analyzes, on one hand, the scope of the right to food and its impact at the level of public institutionality, and on the other, the recent recognition of care as a right at a regional level and its persistent invisibilization in public policies. The results obtained allow for a research and action agenda that identifies tensions and opportunities to achieve universalization in the exercise of rights based in comprehensive and interdependent public policies.
