Cut Hunger in Half: The Roadmap to End Global Hunger

Hunger is the number one human health problem in the world today, affecting more people than AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis combined.

Nearly 1 billion people go hungry every day, and over 2 billion are malnourished. More than 6 million children alone will die this year from malnutrition and hunger-related diseases.

The truth is, we only need one smart plan — that will galvanize the will, mobilize the resources and lay out concrete steps to end hunger once and for all.

A broad-based coalition of aid, advocacy and religious organizations have developed a a Roadmap to guide the new administration and Congress in the fight to end world hunger. The plan calls on the U.S. to lead global community by developing and implementing a comprehensive plan to end global hunger.

Urge our leaders to follow the Roadmap and Root Out Hunger today.

If the U.S. steps up to the challenge of providing global leadership, we can meet the Millennium Development Goal of cutting world hunger in half by 2015, and pave the way towards ending hunger in our lifetime.
