On 18 June 2023, 67% of voters in the canton of Geneva agreed to enshrine the right to food in the Geneva Constitution. This example has inspired initiatives in the canton of Vaud, at federal level, in France and at the Council of Europe, and was presented to the Committee on World Food Security in Rome. To make the right to food a reality, a framework law will have to be passed, and a number of measures have already been taken at municipal level. Dr Christophe Golay, Senior Research Fellow at the Geneva Academy, makes recommendations to ensure that the canton and municipalities of Geneva respect, protect and fulfil the right to food of everyone in Geneva, and promote a just transition towards sustainable food systems.
