  2. Drawing of hands reaching out for food
    On the occasion of the upcoming World Food Day DROI welcomes on 13th October an exchange of views on the Right to Food. The Right to food is a basic human right. It aims to guarantee everyone's access to sufficient, accessible and appropriate food and ensure that no one, nowhere, should ever suffer from hunger, food insecurity or malnutrition. It is a matter of justice and respect for human rights.

    This exchange of views aims to put forward possible strategies elaborated at EU level to preserve et protect the right to food and the right of peasants worldwide.

    The UN Special Representative on the Right to Food Michael Fakhri - who will participate remotely - will present us the latest developments and most topical issues linking right to food and human rights in a challenging global context. Geneviève Savigny, member of the UN working Group on the Right of Peasant and Vincent Delobel, farmer and representative of Via Campesina will also participate in the exchange to raise the violations of rights faced by peasants, such as limited access to land, adequate food and markets.
