Global hunger is a complex issue to address, but ending hunger for one person at a time is worth the effort.
Fifty million. That’s the astounding number of people worldwide who were on the brink of famine in 2022. Seeing a number that big can make the idea of overcoming this problem seem impossible. But for every individual we help to find food security after they’ve lived with the pain of hunger, we prove that fighting for every person is worth the effort.
Breaking the cycle of hunger
Why are people hungry? The reasons are numerous and complicated, and often made worse by common misconceptions. But if you understand the reasons why whole communities are food insecure, you can help break the cycle of hunger.
For every individual we help to find food security after they’ve lived with the pain of hunger, we prove that fighting for every person is worth the effort.
Canadian Foodgrains Bank — A Christian Response to Hunger is an organization focused on ending global hunger. Strongly supported by Canadian farmers, the Foodgrains Bank focuses on providing food security. This includes humanitarian food assistance during crises like floods, droughts, and earthquakes, and long-term food stability through trainings for small-scale farmers in techniques such as conservation agriculture. Even though we’re tackling the problem of global hunger, we focus on the individual. For the parent who works multiple jobs and farms a small plot of drought-stricken land just so they can scrape by on barely two small meals a day, fighting hunger is about the life-giving blessing of food stability for their family.
