Food Security
811 million people in the world go hungry – 276 million people are suffering from increasing food insecurity. Access to safe, nutritious, and sufficient food is a basic need with a priority given to the most vulnerable. CDF Canada provides education, agricultural practices, and resources so farmers can generate higher crop yields; allowing farmers to secure enough food for their own needs and produce enough to sell in local markets. This improves the family’s livelihood, strengthens community resilience and their local economy.
