Heifer Project International Arkansas District of Columbia

people face hunger worldwide, a number that continues to rise due to conflict, climate change and economic instability. Smallholder farmers — who grow up to 30% of the world's food and up to 80% in low- and middle-income countries — form the backbone of rural economies and food systems across the Global South.

"The G20 has taken an important step, but it will take ongoing and committed cross-sector partnership to fully address the scope of these challenges," said Sandosham. "Ending hunger and poverty demands bold action and sustained collaboration."
