What could possibly connect the world's favourite boy band, the Prime Minister, Ginny Weasley and one of the world's most successful businessmen?  Well, just last week, One Direction, David Cameron, Bonnie Wright and Bill Gates, not to mention thousands of others, came together to celebrate the launch of Enough food for everyone IF in order to combat the world's most fatal and unnecessary injustice - global hunger.  ...

Meet IF. It might be one little word, but we're hoping it's going to make 2013 the beginning of the end of the global hunger crisis. Right now, 1 in every 8 people live without enough to eat. More than 2 million children die every year from malnutrition and millions more face a life of stunting, pain and lost potential. Yet, this is completely preventable - our planet provides enough food for every single person....

It's less than a week since we launched our latest campaign, to stop land grabs but so much has been going on in the UK and around the world that we've be manically busy - and loving it!

One billion people will go to bed hungry tonight. This is a huge number, and unjust because the world produces enough food to feed everyone.

Oxfam, as part of its GROW campaign, will draw attention to the subject of world hunger by staging a stunt outside the Conservative Party conference...

This week your drum beat was heard on...

Dear world leaders,  "While we do our good works let us not forget that the real solution lies in a world in which charity will have become unnecessary." So wrote the great African man of letters, Chinua Achebe, in his 1987 novel Anthills of the Savannah. His words should ring loud in the ears of those attending the Global Hunger Event in London this Sunday.  At the summit 'good works' will no doubt...

As you can see from the photo above, one of the lovely Latitude festival goers we met gave us the link to Mission Explore Food - an e-book about (re)discovering food. Use the code and it's free! The Guardian wrote an article that coincided with the start of our Food Power summer, talking about the way people power is revolutionising the way we do food. The People's Supermarket is one way of shopping more fairly. After...
