UN Executive Talks on How to End Hunger Now

This incredibly revealing TED Talk by Josette Sheeran, executive director of the United Nation’s World Food Program, looks at the many factors around why, in a world with more than enough food for everyone, people still die of starvation. She details a number of relatively simple ways – beyond the normal emergency food relief aid – that we can put a stop to this problem, ending incredible global suffering and surprisingly even save money.

Every year Sheeran and the World Food Program feeds more than 90 million people, making it the largest and most active agency fighting hunger. For more on Sheeran, the World Food Program and how you can help out, go to wfp.org.

“The era of cheap food is over. The transition to a new equilibrium is proving costlier, more prolonged and much more painful than anyone had expected. ‘We are the canary in the mine,’ says Josette Sheeran, the head of the UN’s World Food Programme.” – The Economist
