The Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure (VGGT)
of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security
were adopted by the UN Committee on World Food Security (CFS) in May

to support the progressive realization of the right to adequate food in

of MRLG. They have consulted with recognized land experts to make sure
that the translation fits into the Vietnamese
