What do we do?
- The ActionAid HungerFREE campaign aims to put the issue of hunger to the top of the political agenda. The right to food has been sidelined for too long!
- We are a global campaign that lobbies governments to deliver on their commitment to halve world hunger by 2015.
- We want to ensure that corporations are held accountable for abuses of the rights to food, water, land and seeds
- We believe that low-impact farming by small-holder farmers is the best way to tackle hunger. A UN study found sustainable agriculture increased crop yields in Africa by an astonishing 116%.
- We’re teaming up with hungry people and communities, individual farmers, farmers’ groups, supporters, celebrities, artists, influencers and sympathetic politicians – all with one thing in common – we are determined to end hunger.
