Every day, the world produces twice the amount of
food needed to nourish everyone.
Yet, every day, one billion people are hungry;
most of them are farmers.
|
Who has power in the food system? Who doesn't?
What are people doing to create a more fair and sustainable food system?
What can we all do to make a real difference today?
