Help African Farmers Overcome Poverty and Hunger
The World Bank estimates that growth in the agricultural sector is twice as effective at reducing poverty as growth in other sectors. That's why the Global Food Security Act is such an important piece of legislation for helping Africa's poor farmers fight hunger, combat poverty and achieve a self-sustaining future.
The plan outlined in the Global Food Security Act will help farmers in Africa get the tools they need to feed themselves, feed their communities and beat back poverty.
From across the country, people who care about poverty and hunger are calling on their senators to sign onto the Lugar-Casey letter in support of the Global Food Security Act. Join them by asking your senators to sign on in support of this important legislation.
[Dear Decision Maker],
I'm writing to urge you to sign onto the Lugar-Casey letter in support of the Global Food Security Act, a critical piece of legislation for helping Africa's poor farmers fight hunger, combat poverty and achieve a self-sustaining future. Thank you if you are one of the several Senators who has already supported this important act.
The Global Food Security Act will support small farmers in Africa with things like seeds, fertilizer, successful farming techniques and basic infrastructure. These commonsense investments can help farmers earn their way out of poverty, providing families with sustainable incomes and giving local communities self-sustaining futures. The comprehensive, self-sustaining plan outlined in the Global Food Security Act will help to make aid no longer necessary.
