The choice of The Right to Food as the theme for 2007 World Food Day demonstrates increasing recognition by the international community of the important role of human rights in eradicating hunger and poverty, and hastening and deepening the sustainable development process.

The right to food is the inherent human right of every woman, man and child, wherever they live on this planet.

A right to food approach complements food security considerations of availability, access, stability and utilisation with concerns for human dignity and cultural acceptability, and for empowerment by means of participation, non- discrimination, transparency and accountability. This enables individuals, particularly the hungry and marginalized, to actively look for means of realisation of their right to food and to hold government accountable for food security commitments it has taken.
