[...] The persistence of hunger world-wide demonstrates the failure of governments North and South to meet their obligations with regard to the right to food. [...] Canada must re-think its positions and alliances at the WTO in order to advance the food security needs of developing countries and to protect the interests of Canadian farmers' within a viable multilateral system. [...] The Food Security Policy Group calls on the Canadian government to examine its international policies through the lens of food security and that it promote policies that enable national governments to fulfill their human rights obligations, including the human right to food. [...] The Human Right to Food The persistence of hunger worldwide illustrates the failure of governments to meet their obligations with regard to the right to food, as articulated in article 25(1) of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and codified in article 11 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR).

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn 2009, as part of the Government of Canada's commitment to global food security, the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) announced its Food Security Strategy. CIDA's Food Security Strategy builds on Canada's wealth of experience in agriculture research and development, food assistance, and nutrition. The Food Security Strategy recognizes food security as a fundamental component of development through its contribution to improved health, education and achievement of equality and rights. A key objective of the Food Security Strategy is to " ... increase the resilience of the poor by reducing their vulnerability to immediate and long term impacts that affect their food security" through three pillars--agriculture production, research and food aid and nutrition. In support of CIDA's commitment to review progress on its Food Security Strategy and to integrate lessons learned to strengthen the impact of the Strategy, the following discussion paper presents the results of research carried out by the Canadian Food Security Policy Group (FSPG) on its members' programming. The goal of the FSPG research is to provide concrete examples of how Canadian investments in food security are contributing to the goals of CIDA's Food Security Strategy.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKNew evidence this year corroborates the rise in world hunger observed in this report last year, sending a warning that more action is needed if we aspire to end world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. Updated estimates show the number of people who suffer from hunger has been growing over the past three years, returning to prevailing levels from almost a decade ago. Although progress continues to be made in reducing child stunting, over 22 percent of children under five years of age are still affected. Other forms of malnutrition are also growing: adult obesity continues to increase in countries irrespective of their income levels, and many countries are coping with multiple forms of malnutrition at the same time – overweight and obesity, as well as anaemia in women, and child stunting and wasting.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAfter steadily declining for over a decade, global hunger is on the rise again, while various forms of malnutrition coexist. Climate change is already exacerbating this grim picture, which is why food security and food production will be a major focus of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s 6th Assessment Cycle. Thanks to the participation of 250 experts from all around the world, the International Symposium on Food Security and Nutrition in the Age of Climate Change highlighted the importance of food and agricultural systems in the fight against climate change and presented concrete multi-sector solutions to address this global issue. The event placed special emphasis on the regional realities of West Africa and the Canadian North, as well as to the presence of young people and members of Indigenous and Northern communities directly affected by these issues. The summaries of these four days of plenaries, interactive workshops, and special events have been grouped under seven major themes for this publication: 1) Climate change, food security and nutrition: the issues; (2) The agriculture sectors in the context of climate change; (3) Food systems in the face of climate change; (4) Natural resources: challenges and solutions; (5) Food security and nutrition in a changing North; (6) Summary of solutions; (7) Strengthening and adapting regional and international cooperation.
Toward the Charter

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAt the end of the Second World War, a growing concern that Canadians' civil liberties were not adequately protected, coupled with the international revival of the concept of universal human rights, led to a long public campaign to adopt a national bill of rights. While these initial efforts had been only partially successful by the 1960s, they laid the foundation for the radical change in Canadian human rights achieved by Pierre Elliott Trudeau in the 1980s. In Toward the Charter Christopher MacLennan explores the origins of this dramatic revolution in Canadian human rights, from its beginnings in the Great Depression to the critical developments of the 1960s. Drawing heavily on the experiences of a diverse range of human rights advocates, the author provides a detailed account of the various efforts to resist the abuse of civil liberties at the hands of the federal government and provincial legislatures and the resulting campaign for a national bill of rights. The important roles played by parliamentarians such as John Diefenbaker and academics such as F.R. Scott are placed alongside those of trade unionists, women, and a long list of individuals representing Canada's multicultural groups to reveal the diversity of the bill of rights movement. At the same time MacLennan weaves Canadian-made arguments for a bill of rights with ideas from the international human rights movement led by the United Nations to show that the Canadian experience can only be understood within a wider, global context.
