The Food Forecast 2025: Food is a Human Right

Food is one of the most basic of human needs. Consistent access to a balanced diet is essential for both growth and development of the young, as well as for general health throughout one’s life. Although food is mostly plentiful, malnutrition, and even famine, continue. The contradiction between plentiful global food supplies and widespread malnutrition and hunger arises from conflict, instability, climate chaos, and politics.

Women’s Global Empowerment Fund understands that for vulnerable communities and countries in the Global South, local food economies must be supported; small and medium stakeholders must be valued, and as the majority of food producers in Africa, women farmers must be respected. Local food economies are the best way to tackle food insecurity and ecological breakdown.

In 2012, we implemented our Agriculture and Agribusiness Initiative and have seen important increases in food security, food diversity, sustainable environmental and land practices, securing the seed exchange and staved off challenges from Monsanto and other Agribusiness giants.

Over 7800+ women farmers, suppliers, and distributors are not only feeding themselves and their families, but their villages, regions, nations and beyond. At this perilous time, we are supporting women fleeing violence and hunger in Sudan and South Sudan, but we cannot do this without you.

As we all navigate uncertain times and funding cuts, we hope you will continue to support and be inspired by Women’s Global. Our work to ensure food security, economic opportunity, menstrual health, justice and leadership development goes on, but we need your ongoing support!
