| | Resources Mobilization to Ensure the Right to Food |
 | | A rights based approach to food security imposes obligations of the state towards its citizens, the rule of law and the involvement of the poor and hungry themselves in articulating, planning and implementation of anti-hunger programmes. |
 | | The justification must be based on first, the ethical argument that the persistence of chronic hunger is an intolerable disgrace in today's world and, second, on the realization that it makes good sense to eradicate hunger also on economic grounds. |
 | | The strategy must be based on, first, the understanding that permanent, sustainable, reduction of poverty and hunger is impossible without economic growth and, second, on the recognition that growth alone is not acting fast and inclusive enough and needs to be supplemented by targeted measures. |
