Resolving the Food Crisis: Assessing Global Policy Reforms Since 2007

This report is based on a comprehensive assessment of the policies and actions taken since 2007 by four international groups of actors: the UN, the G-20, the World Bank and international donors. The authors, Timothy Wise and Sophia Murphy warn that policy reforms fall well short of what is needed to meet the world’s current and future food needs in a sustainable way.

Culture of Solidarity

Mundo Invisible (Invisible World) is a project developed in Argentina that intends to bring the invisible to light in order to mobilize social commitment. The invisible are the poor, the sick, those who live in the streets, those who wait for a transplant, the lost, the ones that need our engagement. Also invisible are the thousands of people working at their side. Mundo Invisible has a “map of solidarity” so social action activities can be uploaded and people can know where help is needed.
