Dear Sir/Madam,
In principle, I strongly agree that access to food should be a component/part of human rights and needs to be promoted well. But, I always feel it as luxury for developing countries particularly in Africa and Some Asian countries since the majority of the population under starvation/hunger mainly due to bad economic governance. How do we think of ensuring access to food with the sense of basic human rights in a country trapped in a vicious circle of poverty? But it needs concerted efforts I suggest in the following
a. Create regular awareness for governing bodies, citizens on access to food as human rights and encourage to exercise it
b. Establish strong performance monitoring system and take responsive/corrective measures
c. Design innovative and home based pro-poor development interventions in all matters (access to finance, market, resources, social capital and etc.)
d. Affordable cost for quality foods
