A global perspective on right to food campaigns: some questions and answers

Abstract

How and where have right to food (RTF) campaigns evolved, how have they connected to each other, what have been their achievements? Allow me to perhaps take a devil’s advocate position in my analysis on global perspectives on right to food campaigns with the specific intent to provoke a discussion. You can write letters to the editor to react. Providing a global perspective on RTF campaigns is not easy; it would have to be interpreted in the various national contexts, particularly given that both South Asia and Africa are so different. There are not many functioning campaigns as such (and less so RTF movements proper). There are thus more emerging lessons learned than actual achievements or positive experiences to report on. There are not many tools used and to be shared in this endeavor as such either.
