States shall establish mechanisms to ensure the coherence of their agricultural, economic, social, cultural and development policies. South Africa Commends the Chair on finding a solution in ensuring that the issue of “food sovereignty” is reflected in Article in 15.4. South Africa would prefer that the “right to food” which is extensively used in the international human rights system, including the relevant UNHRC resolutions be utilized. On 15.1, South Africa proposes to add “poverty” as follows: “… the fundamental rights to be free from hunger and poverty”. Switzerland La Suisse soutient cet article et voudrait simplement faires la remarque mineure suivante afin d’être aligné sur l’Agenda 2030: d’ajouter le mot “sustainably” au paragraphe 1, deuxième phrase, on lirait: “this includes the right to sustainably produce food and the right to adequate nutrition”. Ecuador Disagreed to replace “food sovereignty” to food security Bolivia Support maintaining “individually and collectively” in the text. It supported article 15 in its integrity. Would like to maintain “individually and collectively”.
