If you're watching this, chances are that you are in the fortunate position to have access to the food you want, when you need it. For the most part, this is thanks to strong economies, distribution networks, skilled labor, abundant resources, the list goes on. If these components are developed enough, you would be fairly certain that when you go out looking for it, you will have access to enough food to keep you and your family strong and healthy. Sounds easy, right? Then why are so many people going hungry? HOW DO WE END WORLD HUNGER? and what is FAO doing about it?
