Voluntary Guidelines for Right to Food
According to De Schutter in 2010 and ICESCR treaty 11, the Voluntary Guidelines for Right to Food are based on the global testimonies and orthodoxies to offer countries with applicative management and suggestions on the methods to fulfil RtAF’s responsibilities. This contributes to combine RtAF with the commonwealth laws.

Furthermore, The livelihoods of small farmers should be secured by the government, which may also contribute to save all people from starvation.[4]
