The transformative potential of the right to food

A new (and final) report from Oliver de Schutter, the Special Rapporteur on the right to food, submitted to the Human Rights Council, draws the conclusions from his mandate, showing the connections between his various contributions.

Most stakeholders agree, in general terms, on the urgent need for reform. Measured 
against the requirement that they should contribute to the realization of the right to food, the food systems we have inherited from the twentieth century have failed. Of course,
significant progress has been achieved in boosting agricultural production over the past
fifty years.
