SOME SOLUTIONS

How can hunger be reduced? The world currently produces enough food for everybody, but many people do not have access to it. There is ample evidence that rapid progress to reduce hunger can be made by applying a twin-track strategy that tackles both the causes and the consequences of extreme poverty and hunger. Track one includes interventions to improve food availability and incomes of the poor by enhancing their productive activities. Track two features targeted programmes that give the most needy families direct and immediate access to food.

Simultanenously, a global food system needs better governance at national and international level. In food insecure countries, institutions are needed based on the principles of the Right to Adequate Food. These should promote transparency and accountability, the empowerment of the poor and their participation in the decisions that affect them.
