Serena Pepino, FAO - Facilitator of the discussion<http://www.fao.org/fsnforum/righttofood/discussions/comment/61>
Dear Right to Food Forum members and contributors for Nutrition, education and awareness raising developments in the progressive realization of the right to adequate food,
Thank you very much for all the valuable thoughts and experiences shared in this discussion. We have so far gathered some interesting examples and success stories from Nicaragua and India. A number of issues have also been brought up, indicating the need for further commitment and action on, among others, human rights education and learning, food nutritional inadequacy and deceiving labelling, food waste and shortages, limited access to land, labour and to nutritious food.
As your comments showed, more needs to be done. Food insecurity and malnutrition remain serious challenges in many countries. Nevertheless, evidence across many countries and regions show that significant steps have been taken towards the implementation of the Right to Food Guidelines, including of Guidelines 10 and 11.
The discussion is still open and welcomes any contribution illustrating more examples and stories on nutrition and education interventions which made a difference in the realization of the right to food, wherever you are.
FAO shall not tire to promote this human right and to use the Right to Food Guidelines as its main tool. The Committee on World Food Security (CFS) agreed that at its 41st Session in October 2014 a session will be included on a ten year retrospective on progress made in implementing the Right to Food Guidelines. Your contributions to the two questions here posed in this discussion, could help informing this important global debate!
Thanks again for your insights and happy discussion!
Serena Pepino, FAO Right to Food Team (ESA)

[cid:image003.png@01CFB578.01793F60]Claudio Schuftan, Viet Nam

Claudio argues that learning is by far the most urgent priority with the Panther Principles. Nothing will take off in the struggle for the right to food unless we massively engage on overall human rights learning. He notes that many documents, including the one shared for this discussion, use worn concepts that have lost their meaning over the years, calling for a stronger use of human rights language. [...]

George touches on the issue of the types of information about food and nutrition such as food labelling. He argues that the consumers need to be given the most ample set of information in order to be put in the position to make informed, nutrition-related choices. [...]
