| Safety nets and Right to Food IGWG RTFG/INF 3 |
| This note explores the role that social safety nets and more specifically food safety nets can play in realizing the right to food. We begin by briefly presenting the concept of food security and the obligations of the State within the right to food framework. We then explore the concept of food safety nets from a rights-based perspective. We finish by providing a more technical discussion of the key criteria to take into account when choosing a particular design and we provide a description of different kinds of programs found around the world. Particular attention is paid to the choice between a cash or food-based transfer program. |
