Introducing Food Justice

Hunger and poverty have a cyclical relationship.

  • Food and Hunger
    02/05/2013 While overnutrition and undernutrition seem to be polar opposites, they are both forms of malnutrition.
  • Hunger and Poverty
    02/05/2013 The main cause of hunger is poverty and lack of power to access nutritious food.
  • Grassroots International: Palestine
    12/17/2012 In the West Bank villages of Bil’in and Nil’in, just outside of Ramallah, 30 women have used the power of honey to keep their communities – and their livelihoods – cohesive and resolute.
  • Land Grabbing
    12/07/2012 The large-scale acquisition of land traditionally used by local communities, “land grabbing,” has accelerated exponentially, resulting in record levels of hunger, displacement and environmental degradation.
  • The Right to Food
    12/07/2012 When the world can produce more than enough food to adequately feed the global population, it shames us all that hunger and malnutrition exist.
  • Nelly's Story
    12/07/2012 In a village in Zambia, Nelly and her family once depended exclusively on chemical fertilizers to produce the crops on their farm. As years went by, the quality of their soil degraded to a point that hunger and poverty took over the family’s already precarious situation.
  • The Global Land Grab
    05/01/2012 Around the world impoverished peoples are fighting a foreign rush for wealth and control that threatens to strip them of land, food and water.
