NEW UN Report: 820 Million People Facing Hunger Need Our Support!
This week, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) released its 2019 State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World report. We learned that unfortunately, the number of people facing hunger worldwide held steady at around 820 million from the previous year.
This number represents about one in nine people. The report states that hunger is on the rise in almost all African subregions, and is also slowly rising in Latin America, the Caribbean and Western Asia. 
While disappointing to read, this report underscores the fact that efforts to end hunger by 2030 are more important than ever before. We feel even more confident that our Zero Hunger mission is critical, and we know we cannot achieve it alone.
