World Hunger Day 2023

Today is World Hunger Day. Over 800 MILLION people around the world are hungry and yet one third of all food is wasted 😲

Hunger is often silent, invisible and relentless. Unlike famines which attract emergency aid, millions of people globally are forced to accept hunger and are unable to make their dreams a reality.

What you should know:

• 1/9 people do not have enough nutritious food to lead a healthy lifestyle
• 85% of species are at risk of extinction due to our global food system
• 30% of greenhouse gas emissions comes from our global food system
• 80% of people living in hunger are living in areas prone to climate change

Sustainable Solutions:

The focus of this year’s World Hunger Day is sustainability. Throughout the campaign, The Hunger Project will be highlighting the role of creating sustainable food systems to ensure everyone has access to food, both now and in the future and help make the UN sustainable goal of zero hunger a reality 💪

Sustainable Supper:

This year, World Hunger Day falls on a Sunday. Sunday’s are for family and spending time with your friends, unwinding from the weekend. Why not host a sustainable supper with your family and friends and raise funds to end hunger 🍴
