RtF, Year 2004
States, as appropriate and in consultation with relevant stakeholders and pursuant to their national laws, should consider adopting a national human-rights based strategy for the progressive realization of the right to adequate food in the context of national food security as part of an overarching national development strategy, including poverty reduction strategies, where they exist.
RtF, Year 2004

States should formulate the measures necessary to remedy any weakness, and propose an agenda for change and the means for its implementation and evaluation
