The strange truth about hunger is that there is enough food in the world for everyone.

People are going hungry because they don’t have enough land to grow food, or the means to earn enough money to buy food with. Hunger is caused by governments and corporations. It’s a human rights abuse.

In 2007 ActionAid launched the HungerFREE campaign to get governments around the world to honour their promise to halve global hunger by 2015.

Today, with more people hungry than ever before, we need hunger back in the headlines.

This isn’t just about hand outs, this is about helping the world's hungry make their voices heard.
