The Right to Food: Past commitment, current obligation, further action for the future – A Ten-Year Retrospective on the Right to Food Guidelines analyzes some of the main issues experienced while implementing the Right to Food Guidelines over the past decade and looks to possible avenues for making use of the Right to Food Guidelines in order to strive for the realization of the right to adequate food of all in the years to come. The Synthesis Report focuses on a number of main features of the Right to Food Guidelines to create the right conditions to unleash action, among which: political commitment; evidence-based decision-making; legal framework; policies and programmes; coherence during implementation; governance mechanism and coordination; and external assistance. In addition, it stresses some key areas for a right to food implementation strategy, which include: nutrition; social protection; access to resources; and education and awareness-raising. The Synthesis Report is based on seven Thematic Studies that document and highlight progresses made over the last decade in implementing the Right to Food Guidelines. These Thematic Studies cover the main elements contained in the 19 Guidelines: policy design; institutional framework; legal developments; natural resources governance; social protection; nutrition, education and awareness raising; and international dimensions.
