Why does the price of food keep rising? Has global hunger reduced over the last 5 years?

Welcome to the World Food Day live-blog series, gathering posts, reports, teaching activities and resources on a rolling basis in the lead-up to the 16th October that invite us to explore these connections, and more.

The World Food Day series is brought to you by Scoilnet, Concern Worldwide, Self Help Africa and developmenteducation.ie

The series is accompanied by suggested activities to adapt for teaching and learning.

Gregg Segal’s photographs from his project Daily Bread explore culture – our identity, memory, behaviour, roles, beliefs, and values. And also food! 

A classic activity suggestion to explore what we eat in a week (and what that says about our relationship to food?).
