We live in a world of plenty, now producing enough food to feed everyone.  So why do more than 2 billion people suffer from food insecurity?
Tens of millions of people in East Africa, the Horn, and up through the Middle East are facing the prospect of extreme hunger as a plague of locusts spreads in the region.
Reducing postharvest losses by half would result in enough food to feed a billion people, increase smallholder income levels and minimize pressure on natural resources.
How can we achieve food and nutritional security in ways that also enhance rural livelihoods, reduce environmental degradation, and boost agriculture’s resilience?
