In a year that witnessed numerous public demonstrations against rising food prices, the issue of hunger has suddenly found itself on the front pages and at the forefront of international debates. It is easy, in this context, to lose sight of the fact that hunger persists in a world that has more than enough food to feed itself. And yet, as we are reminded by the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), more than 850 million people around the world suffer from hunger every day — a violation of the most basic of rights.

The fact-finding mission to Haiti was the third in a series undertaken by Rights & Democracy and its partners. The goal of the mission series was two-fold: first, to better understand the challenges of applying a human rights framework for hunger eradication in least-developed countries; and second, to encourage national stakeholders to take on those challenges.
