    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
    2013
    The 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.

    Enhancing National Capacities to Support the Adoption, Production, and Use of Food Security and Nutrition Indicators - GCP/GLO/043/EC 2023
    Also available in:

    After a steady decline over the past few decades, world hunger has again been on the rise in the last two years. The increase in global hunger has now stalled, and in 2022, there were about 3.8 million fewer people suffering from hunger than in 2021. Nonetheless, the world is not on track to reach the global targets for food security, nutrition and sustainable agriculture established by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Conflict, climate variability and extremes, economic downturns, and inequality are among the key factors causing this reversal. Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Target 2.1 (by 2030 end hunger and ensure access by all people, in particular the poor and people in vulnerable situations including infants, to safe, nutritious and sufficient food all year round) will not be achieved unless significant efforts are devoted to address the many factors behind the recently revealed sad truth that more than 2 billion people worldwide may be facing moderate or severe food insecurity. Against this background, policy-makers need better, more disaggregated, reliable and timely information to guide policies aimed at promoting food security. This European-Union funded project aimed to enhance national capacities to support the adoption, production, interpretation, and use of food security and nutrition indicators in countries in sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, Asia and the Pacific, the Near East, and Central Asia.
