Hunger
The FEED HOPE Project is partnering with local farmers and agricultural cooperatives to create sustainable food solutions that will allow people to feed themselves for generations to come. By securing agricultural supplies (seeds, tools, soil testings…) and training families and farmers on best-practice for local farming, sustainable food sources are happening through Co-Op Gardens. Additionally, The FEED HOPE Project partners with local food banks and food pantries to help develop plans of distribution and acquisition of products from local sources.
More than 854 million people in our world go hungry…every day. Each day, around 16,000 people (mostly children) die of hunger-related issues. In developing countries (more than 75% of our world) more than 6 million children die each year from hunger and its related issues.
The reality: Hunger CAN end. We have the means, we just need to allocate them adequately. The UN Development Program estimates that an extra $13 Billion/year would provided basic health and nutrition needs for the poorest in our world. American and European pet owners spend more $ on pet food per year than this $ amount.
