Over a billion people are going hungry - more than ever before in history.
This is not an issue of skipped meals: a child dies of hunger-related causes every 10 seconds.
It doesn’t have to be this way. If we prioritise hunger and re-think the way we grow food we can create a HungerFREE world.
The first step is to make our government part of the solution. The UK must make tackling hunger a political priority.
