Consultation of Indigenous Peoples on the Right to Food
From April 17 to 19, 2002, the first Consultation of Indigenous Peoples on the Right to Food was held, which was attended by representatives and indigenous authorities from 28 different countries. The Declaration of Atitlán was agreed upon and drafted, which - after analyzing the situation of insecurity and lack of food sovereignty of many indigenous communities around the world - identified the challenges, recommendations and commitments that governments, the international community and the indigenous communities themselves had to face and implement. From this Consultation - and taking into account the position of the Declaration of Atitlán - the Government of Guatemala implemented a policy of food and nutritional security and, in 2005, the Law on the National System of Food and Nutrition Security.
