dc.description.abstractThis paper examines the Jamaican school food environment in light of children’s rights to adequate food and health drawing on both international human rights treaties as well as domestic law. It highlights the State’s obligations to safeguard children’s rights relating to health and food within the school setting and in so doing, underlines some of the challenges posed by private sector involvement in Jamaican schools, particularly in relation to the marketing of unhealthy food and beverages within the school environment. The author ultimately argues for legislative reform through the Education Act as one way of allowing for fuller realisation of children’s rights to adequate food and health within Jamaican schools.
