→‎Civil Society involvement at International Level

As indicated on [[Monitoring Realization of the RtAF]] the progressive realization of the Right to Adequate Food depends to a large extend on the capacity and commitment of civil society organizations to join forces and use the tools available to '''monitor efforts and results of states and hold them accountable'''.

In 2010 an inclusive Civil Society Mechanism was launched for the Intergovernmental Committee on World Food Security (CFS). The CFS itself was established, as a result of the food crisis of the 1970s upon recommendation from the 1974 World Food Conference, to serve as a forum for member States in the United Nations System for review and follow-up of policies concerning world food security. In 2009 CFS members agreed on a wide-ranging reform. During this process Member States recognized the right of Civil Society Organizations to “autonomously establish a global mechanism for food security and nutrition which will function as a facilitating body for CSO/NGOs consultation and participation in the CFS” <ref>CFS: 2009/2 Rev.2, para. 16, http://www.fao.org/fileadmin/templates/cfs/Docs0910/ReformDoc/CFS 2009CFS_2009_2_Rev_2_E_K7197.pdf</ref>. The CSM is reaching out to hundreds of CSOs in all continents<ref>http://www.csm4cfs.org/</ref>.
