A/69/275 call for the expansion of industrial-scale agricultural development and ignore the real threats to global food supply (such as biofuel expansion, inadequate investment in climate-resilient agriculture, lagging support for small-scale farmers and women food producers and the massive loss of food to spoilage and waste) must be reconsidered. It is imperative that a human rights-based approach to food security is adopted in order to eliminate hunger and provide access to healthy, nutritious and affordable food for all. In that regard, the Special Rapporteur proposes to adopt a qualitative rather than quantitative approach to the right to food during her mandate, in response to the current challenges facing all States in developing national food policies. 64. The present report outlines some of the priorities identified by the Special Rapporteur as thematic areas of focus for her mandate. In accordance with its annual programme of work, the Special Rapporteur will present a more comprehensive report to the Human Rights Council in March 2015. Her first substantive report will examine one of the thematic issues outlined above in more depth. In the meantime the Special Rapporteur welcomes comments and feedback on the present report and looks forward to working with all stakeholders to advance the discussion on the human rights obligations related to the right to adequate food. 18/18 14-58889
