WHAT CAUSES HUNGER
Climate Change
Poor farmers are suffering the worst from the impact of climate change.
In some countries in Africa, yields from rain-fed agriculture could drop by as much as 50 percent by 2020 because of rising temperatures, increasing droughts and floods.
Stop Undermining Small Scale Farmers
Small holder family farmers in poor countries can grow their way out of hunger – with a bit of support.
Stop Excluding Women
Women’s unequal social and economic status creates poverty, hunger, violence and abuse.
Rising Food Prices makes more hungry
The hike in global food prices means that more than 1 billion people can not afford to feed themselves adequately.
Lack of Welfare Provision
Social protection measures - actions by states to protect the most vulnerable people from hunger and poverty - are failing to ensure that people can get food.
