World Hunger Day

Around the world, millions of people face hunger every day—often not because of a lack of food, but because strains on our food system push their food security to the edge. Climate change, conflict, and economic instability exacerbate the challenges families living with hunger face. 

But there is hope.

Resilience starts from the ground up.

When communities lead, they build solutions that last. Investing in people-centered strategies creates long-term strength and stability. Because resilience doesn’t start with policies or institutions—it starts with people.

It starts with young people learning how to lead. With women starting businesses that nourish their neighborhoods. With local leaders organizing to protect water sources, distribute food, and support one another through crisis. Communities working together to build systems—social, economic, and environmental—that can withstand the shocks of droughts, floods, rising prices, and political instability.

This World Hunger Day, we celebrate the power of local leadership.

Join us in honoring the changemakers, the growers, the innovators—those working every day to sow resilience and end hunger for good.

Tune in to the Global World Hunger Day webinar! 

This webinar features Rowlands Kaotcha and our partners. This webinar brings together experts to discuss and share best practices on building community resilience as part of the World Hunger Day celebration. They will explore innovative and sustainable approaches that empower communities to reduce hunger by enhancing their capacity to adapt and thrive despite external challenges.

Farm to Table Challenge

Join us in taking action by hosting a farm-to-table meal in your home, workplace, or community space. Choose any day during the month of May and commit to sourcing your ingredients from local, small-scale farmers or markets. Invite guests to bring a dish, share a story, or simply join the conversation. Whether it’s a shared lunch, garden dinner, or virtual table gathering, this is an opportunity to spark dialogue around food equity, resilience, and what it means to create a world without hunger.
