Universal Declaration on the Eradication of Hunger and Malnutrition

This Declaration was adopted on in 1974 by the World Food Conference and endorsed by the UN General Assembly resolution. The Declaration recognizes the disproportionate distribution of food globally and finds that it is a core responsibility of governments to ensure more equitable distribution. The Declaration states the importance of recognizing the role women play in agricultural production and that opportunities should be made available to women on an equal basis as men.
