Earth formed and oxygen levels rose in the foundational years of the Precambrian. The productive Paleozoic era gave rise to hard-shelled organisms, vertebrates, amphibians, and reptiles. Dinosaurs ruled the Earth in the mighty Mesozoic. And 64 million years after dinosaurs went extinct, modern humans emerged in the Cenozoic era. The planet has seen an incredible series of changes—discover them for yourself."

Poverty and Food Security

At the Millennium Summit, held in September 2000, our world leaders committed themselves to a series of Millenium Development Goals. One of goals was to reduce by half, the number of people living in extreme poverty by the year 2015.

You can find out more about the Millenium Goals here or even get involved in an online project. Below you will find some resources I have come across that deal with the issues of food, food security, poverty, and food chains, to coincide with October 17 being the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. I hope you find them useful.
