Description: Today, one in seven people do not get enough food to be healthy and lead an active life. Yet there is enough food in the world for everyone to have the nourishment necessary for a healthy and productive life. How can this be? How can hunger and malnutrition be the number one risk to health worldwide – a risk greater than that due to AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis combined? This mission provides activities and games, both online and offline, as well as video and reflection questions to facilitate youth learning about the issues of hunger and food security, and consideration of the importance of this issue in today's world.
