ABSTRACT
This article explores the relationship between food, law, and religion in contemporary Morocco, highlighting how the right to food, although not explicitly enshrined, is indirectly grounded in the 2011 Moroccan Constitution through principles related to life, health, and sustainable development. It analyzes the evolution of agricultural and food policies and the use of Islamic law institutions, such as hisba and mohtassib, through which the State regulates the food market, reconciling legal innovation with religious continuity. This study shows how in Morocco the right to food provides a key lens for understanding the coordination between legal modernization and the preservation of tradition.
