We saw it at the recent food crisis of 2008 with the extraordinary rising of the price of the basic food and probably it would continue to be produced in the future. Speculation is one of the causes of the crisis, although this behavior is difficult to apprehend and controling it is difficult in order to an effective application of the right to food. The purpose of it this research is exactly to show how to applicate it, taking into consideration it is a right in force in the international order.
