Food and nutrition are the subject of international food law (IFL). The question that arises is whether it is possible to address the serious global threats posed by neo-colonialism and climate catastrophe in particular within the framework of current ILF norms? The basic problem is the axiological foundation on which these norms are based, namely the right to food, which is individualistic in nature and in which food is treated as a commodity and humans as consumers. In times of climate catastrophe, pandemics, wars and neo-colonialism, it makes sense to treat food as a global public good, like other goods needed to meet basic human needs: water, air, sunshine. Under the current IFL, there are no satisfactory mechanisms that allow to respond to food crises caused primarily by climate catastrophe. In particular, so-called food assistance is not a sufficient response to the threats. Solutions should be sought in the concept of global food law (GFL), in which regulatory instruments are international administrative decisions made by global bodies based on the principle of universal participation of states and majority rule (following the model of Codex Alimentarius).
