The Voluntary Guidelines to Support the Progressive Realization of the Right to Adequate Food in the Context of National Food Security, or the Right to Food Guidelines (RTFG), were adopted in 2004 as a practical tool to guide nations towards achieving the right to food for all. Since 2004, this voluntary policy tool has provided members with guidance on how to transform the achievement of the human right to food from its international legislative roots through national policies, laws and programmes into a tangible and implementable operational objective to end hunger and ensure food and nutrition security for all.

Parliamentary action has been instrumental in putting the right to adequate food at the top of political, social and economic agendas. As we approach October 2024 and the twentieth anniversary of the adoption of the RTFG, this is an opportunity to reflect on progress and obstacles and to remind ourselves of the legal, moral and collective obligation of nations and the urgency of eradicating hunger, food and nutrition insecurity as we begin the countdown to the 2030 SDG targets.

Parliamentary alliances have proved able to play a key, strategic role in addressing the problems and challenges that exacerbate food insecurity and malnutrition. The parliamentary sector takes on a crucial role as an agent of change in promoting and developing measures for transforming agrifood systems, requiring policy coordination at intergovernmental and international level.82,84,85.

The commitment to enhance different levels of cooperation, including South-South and Triangular Cooperation, helps fulfil the human right to adequate food.86

Coordination, cooperation and partnershipEvidence shows that when strong political will is translated into laws, public policies and programmes, food security and nutrition indicators tend to improve significantly, enhancing people's quality of life. Parliamentarians play a key role in designing and passing laws, policies and budgets to transform agrifood systems in order to reduce malnutrition in all its forms and to guarantee the human right to adequate food, ensuring equal opportunities for women and men.83The Voluntary Guidelines to Support the Progressive Realization of the Right to Adequate Food in the Context of National Food Security, or the Right to Food Guidelines (RTFG), were adopted in 2004 as a practical tool to guide nations towards achieving the right to food for all.
