Book (stand-alone)Voluntary Guidelines to Support the Progressive Realization of the Right to Adequate Food in the Context of National Food Security – English/Nepali version
Adopted by the 127th session of the FAO Council, 22-27 November 2004
2013The objective of the Voluntary Guidelines is to provide practical guidance to States in their implementation of the progressive realization of the right to adequate food in the context of national food security, in order to achieve the goals of the World Food Summit Plan of Action. They provide an additional instrument to combat hunger and poverty and to accelerate attainment of the Millennium Development Goals. The Voluntary Guid elines represent the first attempt by governments to interpret an economic, social and cultural right and to recommend actions to be undertaken for its realization. Moreover, they represent a step towards integrating human rights into the work of agencies dealing with food and agriculture. -

DocumentNutrition, education and awareness raising for the right to adequate food
Right to Food Thematic Study 6
2014Also available in:
No results found.The objective of this Thematic Study is to show, through current global processes and debates and country-level best practices, how nutrition is an integral part of the right to food, and how education and awareness raising are essential vehicles to facilitate its fulfilment. It argues that nutritious diets and access to education are not only instrumental, but vital to achieving people’s full physical and cognitive potential and health, concepts which are interdependent, indivisible and interre lated with regard to the right to food. The study addresses the benefits of using a human rights-based approach and the PANTHER principles in nutrition, education and awareness interventions, by looking at concrete examples which translate into practice, in whole or in part, some of the guidelines relevant to these topics. These examples illustrate how, by taking targeted, country-level action in a participatory, accountable and non-discriminatory manner, it is possible to create a stronger fou ndation for the realization of the right to food in the long run. Finally, after taking a closer look at the last ten year’s positive evolution in both international and national agendas, the study addresses some of the gaps and challenges primarily related to the implementation of Guidelines 10 and 11, as well as the intrinsically connected Guidelines 13 and 17. -
