The international pressure group Human Rights Watch (HRW) has backed the campaign by Liverpool West Derby MP Ian Byrne and fan activist group Fans Supporting Foodbanks to make access to food a legal right and says it is time to put the human right to food into domestic law.

Manchester United and England striker Marcus Rashford has thrown his weight behind the campaign for a legal right to food in the UK, The Big Issue reports, as his own food poverty campaign continues to grow.

Preston Council is the latest council to back a call for the Right to Food to be enshrined in law and for it to be included in the national food strategy, the first independent review of the UK’s food system for 75 years.

A shocking report shows that one in every five workers in the food sector live in households which had run out of food from a lack of money and that thousands of workers in the British food industry cannot afford to buy the everyday meals they produce, serve and sell.

The Mirror newspaper has officially backed the Right to Food campaign to make Government legally responsible for people in our communities who experience hunger.

This week a motion will go before Liverpool City Council calling for the ‘Right To Food’ to be incorporated into the Government’s ‘National Food Strategy’, the first independent review of England’s entire food system for 75 years.
