Final diagnosis from Olivier De Schutter: democracy and diversity can mend broken food systems
UN Special Rapporteur on the right to food Olivier De Schutter calls for the world’s food systems to be radically and democratically redesigned to ensure the human right to adequate food and freedom from hunger: http://sm.ohchr.org/1lO9w5V
The expert warns that the current food systems are efficient only from the point of view of maximizing agribusiness profits, during the presentation of his final report to the UN Human Rights Council#HRC25 after a six-year term as Special Rapporteur.
In his final report to the UN Human Rights Council after a six-year term as Special Rapporteur, Olivier De Schutter today called for the world’s food systems to be radically and democratically redesigned.
“Objectives such as supplying diverse, culturally-acceptable foods to communities, supporting smallholders, sustaining soil and water resources, and raising food security within particularly vulnerable areas, must not be crowded out by the one-dimensional quest to produce more food,” he urged.
At the local level, the Special Rapporteur called on regions to build their food security around smallholder-led, poverty-reducing forms of agriculture, while urging cities to take food security into their own hands by identifying pressure points and developing a variety of channels to procure their food – not least by reconnecting with local food producers.
This must be complemented by democratically-designed right to food strategies at the national level. An enabling international environment is also essential, the Special Rapporteur stated, recalling the promising efforts of the Committee on World Food Security (CFS) to foster inclusive decision-making, and urging other global governance bodies to follow suit.
The Special Rapporteur added: “Attempts by developing countries to improve their food security will only be successful if there are parallel reforms in the global north. Wealthy countries must restrain their expanding claims on global farmland by reining in the demand for animal feed and agrofuels, and by reducing food waste.”
The report included a summary of recommendations issued over the course of his mandate as Special Rapporteur (2008-2014), covering food price volatility, trade and investment in agriculture, regulating agribusiness, agrofuels, food aid and development cooperation, nutrition, social protection, women’s rights, Human Rights Impact Assessments, national strategies, agricultural workers, contract farming, small-holder farmers, agroecology, and the reinvestment in agriculture.

EU5P Conference
The Francqui International Conference on Europe’s Fifth Project (EU5P), taking place on 8-9 May 2014 at the Palais des Académies in Brussels, is now fully booked. However, those interested in reading the conference papers and contributing to discussions on transitional governance and sustainable societies are invited to sign up for the EU5P newsletter via the EU5P homepage. The conference, convened by Olivier De Schutter, will discuss new ways to measure progress, new modes of living, producing and consuming, and new, transitional governance tools that can serve Europe’s transition to sustainable societies.
Here is the latest news from the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food, Olivier De Schutter. You will find more information on our website.

#Syria: UN Human Rights paper details devastating impact of sieges imposed by the Government forces and pro-Government militias, as well as by armed opposition groups, which have resulted in severe hardship, suffering and deaths of civilians, in clear breach of the obligations imposed by international human rights law and international humanitarian law. An estimated 240,000 people remain trapped in areas under siege: http://sm.ohchr.org/
