Hunger is one of the most urgent, yet misunderstood challenges of our time. 733 million people are living with hunger, but not simply due to a lack of food. Chronic hunger at this scale is due to systemic issues like poverty, gender inequality and the unequal impacts of climate change.
This year on World Hunger Day we are celebrating the changemakers creating resilient communities that can withstand environmental, economic and political shocks that can cause hunger. We believe that resilience starts from the ground up. Farmers adapting to shifting weather patterns. Families strengthening their local food systems. Communities coming together to build solutions that last.
Investing in people-centered solutions ensures the long-term sustainability and resilience needed to end hunger.
