Michelle Nunn, President and CEO of CARE USA, explains the challenges and urgency of the global hunger crisis. CARE has launched a $250 million comprehensive response to this crisis that bridges the full spectrum of food and nutrition insecurity, from emergency response and treatment for severe malnutrition, to transition to short-term recovery and building longer-term plans and systems that prepare families to withstand future shocks. Saving lives now: immediate, vital food supplies and cash vouchers, access to job opportunities, and prevention of life-threatening malnutrition. Growing food and resilience: with more efficient farming practices, fertilizer alternatives, and safer food storage we will ensure there is a next harvest. Changing food systems through advocacy: from working with private sector partners and donors to advocating with governments to prevent repeat crises.
