Campaign Materials: Primers on the Right to Food

Primers| Posters| Pamphlets| Background Material

The secretariat of the right to food campaign has started work on a series of "Primers" on different aspects of the right to food. These Primers are written in simple language and addressed to a wide audience: activists, teachers, journalists, and the general public. They are well suited for training workshops involving people who work on the ground. The Primers can also be printed as a "pocket book", for just a few rupees per copy, and distributed widely.

Feel free to download the Primers, adapt them for your own purposes, translate them in the local language, "cut and paste" from them, or whatever - there is no copyright!
