- Towards a new trade agenda for the right to food0.26 MB
KEY POINTS
- Access to food is a fundamental human right. Trade plays a key role in food security but an excessive exposure to global markets also increases risks.
- Trade policy needs to be advanced from a right-to-food perspective. This calls for the effective implementation and reform of existing World Trade Organization provisions.
- In 2021, the fifteenth session of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development and the Twelfth Ministerial Conference of the World Trade Organization will provide opportunities to incorporate the right-to-food agenda in the global trade architecture.
