425: Spotlight: World Hunger Day


Listen Later

Across the world, hunger is a daily reality for far too many people.

Around 2.4 billion people lack access to sufficient nutrition, which is almost a third of the global population.

It is often passed through generations, making the vicious cycle of hunger hard to tackle.

And factors like poverty, conflict and climate change only exacerbate the problem.

Each year, World Hunger Day acts to call attention to these issues.

Founded by The Hunger Project, the day not only highlights the realities of hunger but encourages us to participate in finding solutions.

And it is in long-term, sustainable solutions that the organisation has its focus, favouring bottom-up strategies that work to help those most impacted.

So, to mark world hunger day, we are eager to explore these strategies, look at the work being done and understand how a difference can be made.

World Hunger Day 2023 - How you can get involved

Sundays are for getting together with your family and friends. For sharing a meal together, and sharing stories.

World Hunger Day falls on Sunday May 28th this year. You can get involved by hosting a Sustainable Supper with loved ones and raise funds to end hunger, for good.

Not sure what to cook? Get some inspiration from the people behind World Hunger Day.

They have enlisted help from chefs from around the world to inspire you with your menu. Cook from one of their sustainable menus and help celebrate food, and the people who make it.
