More than one billion people live in persistent hunger. Yet there’s plenty of food to go around

More than one billion people live in persistent hunger. And the numbers are increasing. Yet there’s plenty of food to go around – twice as much as we need to feed everyone on the planet. In 2000 political leaders of all countries committed themselves to halving the number of hungry and undernourished people in the world by the year 2015. Yet since that pledge was made, little progress has been made.

Activista does not accept that hunger is inevitable – it is a man-made and unnecessary injustice.

A world without hunger is possible. It requires investment in sustainable agriculture, land rights especially for women, an end to land grabbing and a fair global climate deal. We campaign to make these demands reality.
