Achieving the Right to Food for All

Event organized by IFPRI, FAO, and Community for Zero Hunger

This panel brings together the unique perspectives of representatives of the United Nations, government and civil society to discuss the Zero Hunger Challenge, a UN-led initiative to end hunger, eliminate child stunting, make all food systems sustainable, eradicate rural poverty, and minimize food waste.

It will discuss concrete actions taken so far at global and national levels as leaders mobilize around this important call to action, and draw attention to efforts still needed by a wide range of organizations, social movements, the private sector and individuals to build a world where the right to food is a reality for all.
