The Fight

Every year, poor nutrition claims the lives of more than 2.4 million children. That’s more than one in three of all child deaths. It’s time to give this issue the attention it deserves.

  • 44 million
    people pushed into extreme poverty due to food price increases in 2010-2011
  • 165 million

  • 2.3 million
    children died in 2011 in part due to malnutrition
7 out of 10
In 2050, 7 out of 10 people will live in a country that doesn't produce enough food for its population
1.3 billion
people
1.3 billion people make less than $1.25 per day, two-thirds of them in rural areas

Ask our world leaders to end chronic malnutrition for 25 million kids.

The Progress

We know that investing in agriculture is one of the best ways to fight poverty. Proven nutrition solutions – like healthy foods for infants – are praised as some of the “best buys” in development. Now we just need to put them into practice – and fight to save one million lives each year.
