Issues: Global Poverty and Hunger

Ending world hunger requires more than compassion and more than sustainable development. It also requires justice. 

From overwhelming debt to the repression of women to wars and conflict, issues of social justice are directly linked to poverty and hunger. Even natural disasters like famine often have injustice hidden below the surface, such as land monopoly or unjust farming practices. 

How do we end hunger? We work together to address the immediate needs but also to dismantle the root causes of global poverty.

Work through the links at right to learn more, to reflect, and to take specific actions that can help the poor and hungry around the world.
