The Lower House on Thursday
approved a motion for the government to consider food as a
fundamental right in view of the Milan Charter to be drafted at
the Expo world's fair, which kicks off May 1.
The executive must also consider "including the right to
food in the Constitution" and make sure "States take
responsibility under the Milan Charter to guarantee the right to
healthy, safe and sufficient food for all", according to the
motion.
As well, the government must take measures to prevent food
waste, fight land grabbing, and promote made-in-Italy and DOP
products.
The DOP denomination indicates products made exclusively in
very limited and strictly defined geographical areas.
