Food is a human right. Yet hundreds of millions are still going to bed hungry. FAO´s Right to Food Guidelines recommend how to take action, so that everyone has access to sufficient, safe, nutritious and affordable food every day.

The FMM programme on "Evidence-based policy, global instruments and knowledge products" has a relevant component on the right to food. This focuses on development on advocacy and training materials to enhance policy coherence in the joint application of global instruments (CFS-RAI, RtF, SSF or VGGT ) in the different countries, and contribute to implement more inclusive governance and coordination mechanisms.

The latest FAO + Spain Report highlights the cooperation between FAO and Spain in the last ten years, mainly in the fisheries sector and in the promotion of policies for the right to food, the protection of plant genetic resources and the improvement of food security.

The right to adequate food is the right to feed oneself in dignity. It is recognized in international human rights declarations and treaties and in the constitutions and laws of various countries.

This would help drive the great changes required to achieve their effective realization for all people, leaving no one behind. (only in Spanish).
