DRIMIE, Scott. The essential role of Interdisciplinary approaches In addressing hunger and social justice: The 2024 International Social Justice Conference and Summit in Cape Town. S. Afr. j. sci. [online]. 2025, vol.121, n.3-4, pp.1-2. ISSN 1996-7489.  https://doi.org/10.17159/sajs.2025/20624.

SIGNIFICANCE: • Food insecurity in South Africa represents a critical social justice issue in which hunger has become 'normalised' along racial lines due to historical inequities, demonstrating how food access intersects with systemic racism and inequality. • Legal frameworks and rights-based approaches, like the Equal Education legal case during COVID-19, show how social justice interventions can protect vulnerable populations' right to food, particularly for marginalised children and communities. • Evidence from successful cases like Brazil's Zero Hunger Campaign and South Africa's Equal Education case shows that interdisciplinary interventions - combining legal, educational, health, and social protection measures - are more effective than single-domain approaches in addressing food insecurity.
