Join us for an event on the sidelines of UNGA 77 in New York where Devex in partnership with World Food Program USA will show how faith-based partners are tackling hunger and making food systems more resilient.
The world is facing an unprecedented hunger crisis. Many food systems are on the brink of collapse due to a combination of conflict, climate change, and the economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, many are working toward a hunger-free world. Faith-based organizations and philanthropies are leveraging their close ties with communities to not only tackle these ongoing crises, but also to build the local-level resilience needed to withstand future shocks.
