Nor does it permit one-sixth of the human family to continue to live in abject poverty. The Hunger Project is committed to transcending this polarity and creating a future that rejects the inevitability of hunger and recognizes the limitations of a consumerist society.<\/p>\n<p>Achieving the sustainable end of hunger means creating a new future for all humanity, a future where:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>every day, every person has enough of the right food to be healthy and productive;<\/li>\n<li>babies are born healthy and strong, and girl babies are prized as much as boy babies;<\/li>\n<li>children stay alive, so parents can have smaller families;<\/li>\n<li>women and girls are full partners in society;<\/li>\n<li>people have control over their own lives and destinies, and all individuals have a chance to contribute;<\/li>\n<li>the values of honoring human beings and nature flourish.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Hunger Project works in partnership with grassroots people in Africa, Asia and Latin America to develop effective bottom-up strategies.
