Fertile Ground

In 2000 world leaders committed to halving hunger by 2015. In 2009 the number of hungry people in the world passed 1 billion.

To accompany a report of the same name, this 5 minute short version of the longer "Hunger Inquest", demonstrates that hunger is a matter of political will. It also argues that the solution is support for poor farmers, particularly women, in adopting sustainable agricultural practice.
