The article also identifies a number of community-based, local and national NGOs that are involved in the struggle for the improvement of nutritional standards and access to food security and how these are important in the human rights struggle. The article discusses how international NGOs can and do support the work of the United Nations in its efforts to improve the respect for economic, social and cultural rights and, finally, dwells on the future role of international NGOs in this field.",
