Our theme for World Food Day this year, Setting the Table for Peace, highlights how conflict drives hunger–and how peace can help build food security. Peace is also more than just the absence of conflict. It is where people have everything they need, including a full table of nutritious food.
Setting the Table for Peace comes down to empowering families and communities to gain the resources they need to set their own tables full of nutritious food. This includes empowering women and girls, people who have been displaced from their homes, and other vulnerable populations.
Peace can come through support, training and connecting people with their neighbours. It can come through long-term projects and short-term assistance. Foodgrains Bank members and partners are supporting such efforts – and you can too!
As an organization focused on ending global hunger, working through our 15 members made up of churches and church-based organization, we believe that prayer is an important element in working towards a world without hunger.
