Hunger is what most people in the world die of. Today, approximately 821 million people are starving. Lack of food is a disaster, both for those who suffer from it and for society's opportunity to develop. What can solve the lack of food is above all sustainable agriculture and a fairer distribution of the food that is available.
In many families, the income goes to alcohol and drugs instead of food on the table, education or health care. And it is a vicious circle, people living in poverty have an increased risk of ending up in addiction, which in turn reduces the possibility of getting out of poverty. This means that efforts against addiction are also effective in reducing poverty. The IOGT-NTO movement supports initiatives in 14 countries.
