World Food Prize laureates call for US action on global hunger and malnutrition as elections ignore crisis

As US citizens vote for a new president today, World Food Prize laureates at the Borlaug Dialogue are urging the government to take decisive action against rising global hunger and malnutrition, which affects 9.1% of the world population.  

In a joint letter, the leaders urge the US to “strongly support” collaborative initiatives such as the Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty.
