The authors invite us to move away from abstract metrics that focus on outcomes, and to pay attention to the ways in which these outcomes are achieved. The participation of civil society in identifying and monitoring the primary barriers to food sovereignty is key to measuring the progressive realization of the right to food and nutrition, and to disentangling human rights monitoring from the industrialized agribusiness agenda.
