Leya Chede from Uganda practices sustainable agriculture through a community seed bank project - and is now hunger free. This is the key to feeding the world’s hungry billion.
We urgently need world leaders to pledge much greater support to women like Leya at the UN World Summit on Food Security in Rome next week.
We’ve teamed up with online campaigners Avaaz and global farmers’ networks to show our governments that we do not accept people dying every minute from hunger. We’ll deliver your message in a stunt at the Roman Colosseum on the eve of the summit.
