Whole Planet Foundation Directs $150,000 From the Kasperick Foundation Towards Combating Food Insecurity in Colombia, Guinea, and Ethiopia
Eliminating hunger has been a global priority for decades, but systemic shocks including wars and armed conflicts, the Covid-19 pandemic, trade restrictions, supply chain issues, inflation, and currency instability, have recently led to heightened rates of food insecurity. For many people around the world, the price of food has increased. The situation is often worse for smallholder farmers, who are also dealing with the rising cost of farming inputs, like fertilizer, and thus have less harvest to consume and sell.
