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.
