Fully aware that hunger and the basic lack of food have global implications and that they are more than likely to increase in some regions,

Expecting the mitigating factor of continual exponential increase in the world’s population and the stress on natural resources,

Noting with regret other obstacles to the right to food such as plagues and natural disasters,

Having examined that only determined and unwavering action is the only way to solve this dilemma,

1. Proclaims hunger an outrage and a violation of human dignity,
2. Affirms the right for everyone to have access to safe and nutritional foods to fully develop and maintain oneself,
3. Emphasizes all nations to take steps to promote everyone to be free from hunger, and to make and enact national plans to fight hunger,
4. Calls upon governments to give adequate funding towards the realization in the right to food,
5. Authorizes the United Nations to provide necessary resources to fulfill the right to food for as many people as possible.

Noble idea, but how are you going to code it? It reads like a transfer-of-funding issue, which probably makes it Social Justice (strong). Bear in mind that altering income inequality does not put crops in the dirt. You're going to need more than strong words to make this work.

Thanks for your advice on category and other things. So far I had just in mind those last two provisions making the bulk of the work done (government allocation on addressing the issue of hunger, and establishing the UN to do something in order to allocate and give aid)

I was actually looking into mandating government subsidies towards the agriculture industry, but I don't know how everyone else will recieve it. I think those things listed (outside of the agriculture idea) are the most realistic ones to acheive and already do a great deal of improvement as is.
