We thank the HLPE-FSN for sharing the VO Draft and for the possibility to comment.
We support the use of the definition of food security, including agency and sustainability. These two dimensions are particularly important in the context of inequality, poverty and food insecurity, as well as for long-term solutions based on comprehensive and transformational approaches. The guiding principle of Leave no one behind is central for this report. Switzerland welcomes the human rights based approach, including the focus on the transformative action with regard to the human right to food. Furthermore we suggest to shorten Chapter 1 and to put some of the information into an annex.
