Food security is not only about ending hunger; it is about restoring dignity, protecting health, and fostering peace. Well-nourished families are less likely to experience conflict and more likely to thrive in harmony. Addressing food insecurity provides children with the opportunity to grow, families with the chance to flourish, and communities with the strength to unite in peace.
