In the case of food price volatility under small & marginal producers and consumers: This basically relates to local governments -- central government may provide some guidelines but state governments may not as they are being ruled by different political parties. Black market plays the major role. Who will stop them or control them and on the contrary they control the governments. Powerfull multinational seed companies are dumping genetically modified crops. It is known well, they are bringing in new diseases without have a capacity to increase the yield over tradional seeds in terms of production. But on the contrary increasing the cost of production and uses subsidized costly inputs. These lead farmers suicides. They bring seeds illegally with the support of politicians -- now food crops also entered to make the population guinea Pigs. . Can UN stop this menace? I doubt so!
In the case of social protection for food security and nutrition:
Here the major issue is adulteration of food items with no control by the government. Unless this menace is routed out there is no way to get nutritious food. Food security generally not a big problem. Food is produced but through public distribution system poor quality is supplied and it goes in to black market. Can UN stop this menace? I doubt so!
Theory is far from ground reality. First we need to look at ways and means of bring down the population. This is solution for all ills of the society. As long as international body look at this, there is no solution for even global warming a minor part of Climate Change but UN body looking at climate change as global warming
