There is more than enough food produced today to feed everyone in the world, yet close to 800 million are chronically hungry.

One nine people on the planet still suffer from hunger

Every year, the world loses or waste about a third of the food it produces

Women make up almost half the agricultural labour force in

developing countries, but they own less land and lack access to resources.

A third of farmland is degraded, up to 75 percent of crop genetic diversity has been lost and 22 percent of animal breeds are at risk.
