There are a large number of resources on the right to food.  The most significant resource that relates that right to government budgets is:

• FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations). 2009. Budget work to advance the right to food: "Many a slip...".  This guide is divided into two parts: The first describes a step-by-step process for analyzing a situation to determine whether it raises a right to food issue and, if it does, the relationship of the government’s budget to the issue. It also sets out examples of how an organization can assess different aspects of a government’s budget to help determine whether the government is complying with its right to food obligations. The second part of the guide includes case studies describing efforts in three countries to develop something approaching a “right to food budget”—a government budget that tries to guarantee the right to food in a comprehensive manner.

Other resources on the right to food and budgets include:

• Rights or Privileges? Fiscal Commitment to the Rights to Health, Education and Food in Guatemala (2009) produced by the Center for Economic and Social Rights (CESR), in collaboration with its partner organization in Guatemala, the Instituto Centroamericano de Estudios Fiscales (ICEFI).  The report focuses on the government’s poor performance in guaranteeing basic levels of economic and social rights for its population.  It argues that the lack of political will by democratic governments in  Guatemala to invest in realizing these rights, using the maximum resources available in the most equitable way, is the underlying reason behind the non-realization of economic and social rights.

• Informe Alternativo del Derecho a la Alimentación en Guatemala, Monitoreo de las Directrices Voluntarias para el Derecho a la Alimentación (2010) produced by El Colectivo Social por el Derecho a la Alimentación. This study presents the different national strategies for food security and nutrition that have been implemented in Guatemala in the last decade (i.e. SEPAN and SINASAN). In addition, it analyzes the situation in Guatemala using FAO guidelines related to the right to food, explaining, for example, how the lack of a clear labor policy and participation by and consultation with interested parties, have prevented the progressive realization of the right to food in Guatemala. At the end of the paper, in the context of a discussion of agrarian reform in the country, the author analyzes the budget for the agricultural sector.
