As food prices continue to skyrocket, hundreds of millions of poor people around the world face a terrible risk of hunger and disease. Hunger is unacceptable in a world that collectively has the knowledge and the resources to improve access to food.

Now more than ever we need to address the rapidly growing problem of food insecurity worldwide. The Global Food Security Act of 2009 is the first attempt to provide a comprehensive strategy for the U.S. to address food insecurity abroad and prevent millions of individuals from falling into poverty and hunger.

Hundreds of millions of people around the world face hunger on a daily basis, but thankfully, we can help to end global hunger! Send a message to your members of Congress urging them to support the Global Food Security Act of 2009 today.
