    The road to a hunger-free world

    A coalition of 50 faith-based, humanitarian and advocacy groups launched Tuesday (July 24) a road map listing six recommendations for continued U.S. leadership to end hunger.

    By Jenny Lei Ravelo // 25 July 2012

    The need to address a growling belly is not only the “right thing to do,” but also crucial for national and global security.

    This is one of the points raised by a coalition of 50 faith-based, humanitarian and advocacy groups, which launched Tuesday (July 24) a road map listing six recommendations for continued U.S. leadership to end hunger.

    • Invest $5 billion annually in global food security.

    • Appoint a global food security coordinator.

    • Continue supporting programs that build resilience.

    • Increase support for effective safety net programs.

    • Ensure nutrition is a “core component” of U.S. food security strategy.

    • Strengthen country-led models of development.

    Most of the recommendations seem easy to adopt. But the proposal asking for an increase in funding is sure to face a number of challenges, especially at a tough fiscal climate.
