The production subsidies to farmers in the developed countries, dished out at the tune of 1 billion a day must be transformed into supporting the farmers that take care of the earth, that restore and protect the ecosystem services. Right now the subsidies are killing the farmers in the developing countries.....and that is the first step in fixing the hunger and poverty problem, while at the same time also making agriculture part of the climate change solution, not the problem!

Going on the Hill first thing in the morning will get the members attention. It is essential to have congress on Obama’s side as he request the $1.36 billion in global agricultural development funding with the ultimate goal of ending global hunger.

They need to focus on the actual drivers of a new flourishing economy, the farming sector. Lucky you getting to do this work! Glad you were able to take the metro, they had an accident last week, didn't they? This is a great cause to talk to our representatives about.
