More than 20 countries including Nepal have the right to food enshrined in their constitutions. The article 36 of the constitution of Nepal-2015 broadly enlivens the essence of all the past, present and future policies of Nepal related to food security, food sovereignty, and food rights. The article and the essence of the constitution are in perfect synergy with the United Nations sustainable development goals-2015. Nepal’s policies on food, when implemented, are sufficient to guide the agricultural development to end hunger, achieve food security, improve nutrition, and promote sustainability. The challenge has been to learn a lesson from the past and focus on the implementation of the numerous guiding policies to achieve the goals of the constitution.
