"The world produces enough food for everyone, yet hunger kills over 200 children every hour."

This is being launched nationally by a collective of about 100 charities and NGO's. All the big regulars that you might support are part of this - Unicef, Oxfam, Save the Children, ActionAid, Tearfund, ONE.

*If we as a nation join together we can make a difference.....and get our voices heard...and get world leaders to act....
*IF we stop poor farmers being forced off their land, and use the available agricultural land to grow food for people, not biofuels for cars.
*IF governments keep their promises on aid, invest to stop children dying from malnutrition
and help the poorest people feed themselves through investment in small farmers.
*IF governments stop big companies dodging tax in poor countries, so that millions of people
can free themselves from hunger.
*IF we force governments and investors to be honest and open about the deals they make in
the poorest countries that stop people getting enough food.
