The report shows how thousands of private organizations and millions of individuals are helping hungry people in the United States and worldwide. The report contains two essays for an overview of the problem of hunger and seven other essays on various aspects of the hunger problem. Essays include: (1) "Introduction: The Courage to Choose" (Richard A. Hoehn); (2) "Overview of World Hunger" (Peter Uvin; Marc J. Cohen; A Cecilia Snyder; Richard A. Hoehn; Maureen Harris); (3) "Cause 1: Powerlessness and Politics" (Marc J. Cohen); (4) "Cause 2: Violence and Militarism" (Daniel U.B.P.

BEST COPY AVAILANnger1995 iii Foreword CAUSES OF HUNGERshows how hunger is interrelated with other so- cial illspowerlessness, violence, poverty, environmental destruction, and discrimination. All these ills have roots in distorted values. Tackling hunger and related social problems starts with ethical choices. We have the means to end hunger. Eliminating widespread hunger in the United States is feasible and affordable. Changed U.S. policies could also givea huge boost to progress against world hunger. But we need to choose,as individuals and as a society. Our hunger report last year urged that some of the effort already devoted to helping hungry people be shifted toward transforming the politics of hunger. This year's report is a more fundamental call to choose what is good and right. Bread for the World Institute is associated with Bread for the World,a Christian citizens' movement against hunger. Bread for the World's members account for much of U.S. citizen action on behalf of poor and hungry people in other countries. We also make a difference on issues that are important to hungry people within the United States. A key to the effectiveness and persistence of this grassroots movement is its grounding in Christian moral teaching and faith. Guilt is not a good motivator. Those who do not grow weary in well doingare often nourished by an inner, spiritual feastfor Christians, joy in response to God's grace; for others, according to their own traditions. With only a mustard seed of faith great things are possible. We can end mass hunger, and that would be a giant step toward a more wholesome, sustainable society and world.

  • How Significant an Influence Is Urban Form on City Energy Consumption for Housing and Transport?
    How significant an influence is urban form on city energy consumption for housing and transport? Authored by: Dr Alan Perkins South Australian Department of Transport and Urban Planning and University of South Australia [email protected] How significant an influence is urban form on city energy consumption for housing & transport? Perkins URBAN FORM AND THE SUSTAINABILITY OF CITIES The ecological sustainability of cities can be measured, at the physical level, by the total flow of energy, water, food, mineral and other resources through the urban system, the ecological impacts involved in the generation of those resources, the manner in which they are used, and the manner in which the outputs are treated. The gap between the current unsustainable city and the ideal of the sustainable city has been described in the following way (Haughton, 1997). Existing cities are characterised by: The Sustainable city would be A high degree of external dependence, characterised by: extensive externalisation of Intensive internalisation of economic environmental costs, open systems, and environmental activities, circular linear metabolism and ‘buying-in’ metabolism, bioregionalism and additional carrying capacity. urban autarky. Urban forms are required therefore which will be best suited to the conception of the more self-sustaining, less resource hungry and waste profligate city. As cities seek to make their energy, water, biological and materials sub-systems more sustainable, the degree to which the intensification of urban development is supportive of these aims will become clearer. Nevertheless, many who have sought to portray what constitutes sustainable urban form from this broader perspective have included intensification, both urban and regional, as a key element (Berg et al, 1990; Register et al, 1990; Owens, 1994; Trainer, 1995; Breheny & Rookwood, 1996; Newman & Kenworthy, 1999; Barton & Tsourou, 2000).

  • Dear Friend of Freedom from Hunger, As a Public Health Researcher
    Dear Friend of Freedom from Hunger, As a public health researcher and program planner, I have spent much of my career focused on efforts to reduce maternal and child malnutrition. I have been fortunate to work for many excellent organizations from international agencies to small nonprofits. That is how I could recognize what is so potentially effective about the Freedom from Hunger approach. But let me back up. After almost three decades of international work I was discouraged by the magnitude of the problem of child malnutrition. Many approaches to ending hunger were narrowly focused and overly politicized. When I was first introduced to Freedom from Hunger, it was refreshing and exciting to see that they focus on increasing women’s financial access as well as their health and nutrition knowledge. From my work in the field, I know that women play a key role in eliminating malnutrition. Extremely poor, rural women are an untapped resource, but they are as hardworking as any others, with both determination and dreams for their children. On a trip to Burkina Faso with Freedom from Hunger, I met a woman whose small food stand sat under a tarp she had set up. She was busy selling rice and sauces – what I call West African fast food – to passersby. She told me that before she joined her women’s association she could only buy small, more expensive bags of rice. Worse still, sometimes the rice ran out before the day was over. This meant lost business and less money for her family. Thanks to Freedom from Hunger, she could now purchase 50-kilo bags of rice, making each serving of rice less expensive.

Project Period: Approximately 10-12 weeks between May and August 2013, exact dates negotiable. At least two weeks at Freedom from Hunger International Center, Davis, California. Background: Freedom from Hunger is a forerunner in integrating health protection services and products onto the platform of microfinance in order to reach the rural poor with a sustainable, affordable, reliable and effective mechanism to provide services that will help protect them against financial and health shocks. In 2005–2010, under the first Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation microfinance funding, Freedom from Hunger partnered with 5 MFIs in 5 countries to develop and sustainably offer a package of health protection services that included combinations of health education, health savings, health loans, linkages to health providers and products, and health micro-insurance to improve the health and financial stability of their clients while also contributing to the sustainability of the institutions themselves. Impact research and cost-benefit analyses from the MAHP pilot initiative showed clear and compelling

Prior to the onset of COVID-19, Feeding America estimated that nearly 843,000 Virginians were food insecure, including 234,000 children. Current Feeding America projections indicate that an additional 447,000 Virginians will experience food insecurity at some point during the next year because of COVID-19. The Commonwealth has made dramatic progress against hunger in recent years but we know that we can and must do more to fix this solvable problem.
