Why Sow Seeds to Fight World Hunger?

 

Cabbage Harvest. Seed Programs International (SPI) is a non-profit, tax exempt, non-governmental humanitarian organization.One out of two people in the world today live on less than $2 a day while 1 billion people live on less than $1 a day. Many of these people are hungry and do not have enough money to buy the food they need. Food aid is essential in famine situations, but is not a good long term solution to world hunger.

Part of a better long term solution to world hunger is to help people produce some of the food they consume. This strategy not only helps feed hungry people but increases their self-esteem, and self-sufficiency.
