Resource Details
Description
Using clear, concise definitions, key facts and causes, Ending Hunger explores the issue of hunger, explaining what it is, and where it is. As with their factsheet on aid (link to Aid Works resource), Ending Hunger also has a section on debating the issue where they ask the question ‘Are GM foods a solution to World Hunger?’ and explore both sides of the argument. As well as discussing their own approach to ending hunger, Concern suggests what can be done in order to end hunger.
Suggested use
