The transformative potential of the right to food 2014, para. 48
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Indeed, it is now time to move from generous intentions to action. The eradication of hunger and extreme poverty is now placed at the top of the political agenda, and through the new sustainable development goals, monitoring will be strengthened at a global level. Grounding these efforts explicitly in the right to food will encourage all the actors involved in the implementation of these goals to acknowledge their duties towards those who are marginalized economically and politically disempowered, and to address the political economy of food systems - in other terms, the question of who decides, on the basis of what information, and under which accountability mechanisms.
