Food prices in recent years have hit record levels, causing
riots in 25 countries.
Our food
system is broken …but not beyond
repair. Oxfam is launching a major effort to take on the policies and
corporations that control how much food gets produced, where it goes, who eats
and who doesn't—and we need your help.
Together,
over the coming months, we'll push for a few simple but powerful changes to ensure our planet is ready to feed 9
billion people by 2050. Here's how we'll
do it:
Demand that
our leaders use crops for food, not fuel.
Pressure
Congress to make sure ALL our food aid actually reaches those who need it most—right now, half never makes it.
Hold corporations
accountable when they bet on food prices, causing costs to spike and people to go hungry.
Push world
leaders to help small farmers, who are facing more frequent droughts, floods, and storms.
