A/HRC/12/31* page 24 mapping of food insecurity and vulnerability. For developed countries in particular, the targets could include levels of contribution to international assistance and cooperation with developing countries, in accordance with the priorities set by the guidelines adopted by the Committee. VIII. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 46. We can transform this crisis into an opportunity. But this requires that we ensure that the reinvestment in agriculture effectively contributes to combating hunger and malnutrition; we guarantee the right to social security; we enable countries to cope with volatility of prices on international markets while combating its sources at the same time; and we improve the global governance of food security. 47. With regard to agricultural investment the Special Rapporteur calls on the Human Rights Council: (a) To encourage the international community (States, international agencies, donor countries) to ensure that the reinvestment in agriculture and rural development effectively contributes to the progressive realization of the right to food, by: (i) Accelerating the work for better implementation of relevant ILO conventions in rural areas, in order to guarantee that those working on farms can be guaranteed a living wage, adequate health and safe conditions of employment; (ii) Undertaking rigorous comparative assessments of the impact of different agricultural modes of production on the right to food; (iii) Channelling adequate support to sustainable farming approaches that benefit the most vulnerable groups and that are resilient to climate change and the depletion of hydrocarbons; (iv) Prioritizing the provision of public goods, such as storage facilities, extension services, means of communications, access to credit and insurance, agricultural research and the organization of farmers in cooperatives; (v) Encouraging States to locate their efforts in reinvesting in agriculture under national strategies for the realization of the right to adequate food that include mapping of the food insecure, adoption of relevant legislation and policies, and the establishment of mechanisms to ensure accountability, and which are adopted through participatory mechanisms; (b) To promote the adoption of a multilateral framework that ensures that large-scale land acquisitions or leases are balanced, conducive to sustainable development and comply with human rights, including the right to food, the right to adequate housing and the right to development;
