Collective Statement to Obama on World Hunger:

We believe this generation can build a hunger-free world.

We believe U.S. leadership is necessary to create a world where even the most vulnerable have reliable access to safe and nutritious food.

We urge you to designate a high-level position within your administration to design, implement and oversee a government-wide comprehensive strategy to address global hunger.

We urge you to make sure the US pursues a strategy that includes: emergency related activities; support for school feeding programs and other nutrition initiatives; strong health related programs and safety nets for at-risk communities; support for agriculture and improvements in water, sanitation and infrastructure around the world.
