Faith-based Groups Step Up Food Justice Advocacy
In recent years industrial agricultural corporations and financial firms have taken control of much
of the global food industry, including land, production processes, and even the pricing of food
through speculation.
This has deepened concerns about the impact on people most affected by
hunger and malnutrition around the world.

Nations have insisted on recognizing the human right to food and have added their voices to
those calling for “empowerment of people” as a step toward eradicating poverty.

Concerns and in an entertaining but informative video by Anna Lappé.
