Description:... This Guidance Note provides a brief practical outline of how to integrate the right to adequate food into food and nutrition security programs, focusing on a number of key entry points identified by practitioners as the most relevant to their work. By looking at specific cases, the publication shares good practices and highlights some of the challenges encountered. The Guidance Note consolidates the right to food as both an objective and a tool for achieving food security for all. It shows that the right to food can provide an overarching framework that guides efforts to address hunger and malnutrition. At the same time, adopting an approach based on the right to adequate food in the design, implementation and monitoring of programs increases the chances of enhancing the efficiency, effectiveness, impact and sustainability of efforts. This publication is the result of two years of collaboration between FAOs Integrated Food Security Support
