Synopsis (short abstract) The right to food has been recognized as a human right since the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, in numerous binding and nonbinding legal instruments, notably Article 11 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR). However, guidance on its implementation was not available until 2004 when, after two years of negotiations under the umbrella of FAO, Member States adopted the “Voluntary Guidelines to Support the Progressive Realization of the Right t o Adequate Food in the Context of National Food Security” (RtFG), the only intergovernmental text clarifying the concrete measures that States should take to implement the human right to adequate food. Since then, FAO’s Right to Food team has supported the implementation of the guidelines as one of the most authoritative and complete guiding documents available for building a sound, national human rights-based food security and nutrition (FSN) framework. Over the years, FAO has been promoting th e Guidelines through dedicated staff (the Right to Food Team in ESA, legal officer in LEG and staff in decentralized offices), the delivery of policy assistance to States and the publication of a number of studies and a toolkit. Operationally, the Right to Food Team conducted a number of specific operational projects at regional and country levels.

    Terminal evaluation of the project “Biodiversity conservation and sustainable use in five macroregions to improve human nutrition”
    Project code: GCP/BOL/046/GFF – GEF ID: 4577

    The objectives of this project were: keeping agrobiodiversity in situ in five macro-ecoregions and improving the livelihoods of local populations; and managing and taking advantage of agrobiodiversity to sustainably improve food and nutritional security with improved access of Indigenous populations and local communities to nutritional and diversified diets. Some of the highlighted best practices were: the recovery of ancestral knowledge; encouraging the valuing of agrobiodiversity (the promotion of conservation and sustainable use of resources) and food security; the active participation of Indigenous Peoples in the project; and the project contribution to helping close gender gaps. To ensure projects’ sustainability, coordination between the various government agencies with competence in the issue of agrobiodiversity must be encouraged and maintained.
