Nearly 800 million people go to bed hungry every night. That’s almost one out of every nine people on earth. And the challenge to feed the world is intensifying as demand for food increases and climate change brings more extreme weather events.
This #WorldFoodDay, we reaffirm our commitment to do our part to end poverty and hunger by shaping a sustainable food system to feed every person, everywhere, every day. http://wrld.bg/4VI7305998U
